Hermitage Le Gréal Sorrel 2023 is a red wine from the granite and limestone slopes of Hermitage, produced from old vines in Le Méal and Les Greffieux. The season brought moderate warmth and balanced yields, resulting in fruit of purity and precision. Aromas of blackberry, violet and black olive are lifted by notes of pepper and smoked meat. The palate is concentrated yet poised, its tannins fine and powdery, supporting a core of dark, mineral-driven fruit. Acidity gives clarity and tension through the finish, which is long, savoury and distinctly marked by its hillside origin.
Vinous
The 2023 Hermitage Le Gréal is on the road to success. Using roughly 10% of grapes from the Les Greffieux and 90% from the Le Méal lieux-dits, with the name Gréal being an attempt to transform both words into one, the 2023 was also co-fermented with 8% white varieties (mostly Marsanne). Swirling the glass unlocks pronounced verbena tea, crushed violet, rose water, stemmy subtleties, red plum, black cherry and fleshy flickers. Medium- to full-bodied, harmonious and well-defined, the 2023 is coming together really well. I can’t wait to taste it once bottled.Nicolas Greinacher1st January 2025
