Hermitage Emmanuel Darnaud 2021 red wine from the Northern Rhône region, crafted exclusively from Syrah. This vintage exhibits the typical characteristics of the terroir, including a deep colour, and peppery spice, with a mineral backbone and structured tannins. On the palate, the dark fruit and spice notes, are balanced by a mineral edge typical of the terroir. Emmanuel Darnaud is a focused producer who makes polished and generous wines.

Robert Parker
The inaugural cuvée of Darnaud’s Hermitage stands out splendidly within the context of its vintage. Due to the hail on August 15, which compromised the stems, whole bunches were not used. Evoking a pretty charming, delicate bouquet of violet, dark berries, pepper and mulberries, the 2021 Hermitage is dense and deep, with a nicely structured palate. It is slightly austere and introverted due to hail but perfectly balanced with a fleshy, multidimensional core of fruit completed by a youthful, assertive tannic frame that promises to soften over time. Concluding with a long, ethereal and pencil lead-inflected finish, it requires time in the cellar but remains one of the finest Hermitage wines produced in the appellation. - Yohan Castaing
