Tasting Note

Brilliant and limpid straw yellow. Complex aromas of vanilla, almonds, dried fruits and linden-tree. The minerality is marked (typical of the soil). Very round and rich wine. An elegant balance, with a light bitterness at the end. Very ripe white fruit aromas (peach and apricot). Beautiful length in mouth and a huge complexity. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.

Product Notes

M. Chapoutier L’Ermite Blanc is a luxury white wine hailing from the Hermitage region of the Rhône Valley in France. This wine is made using 100% Marsanne grapes, which are hand-picked and sorted to ensure the highest quality. The grapes are then fermented and aged in oak barrels for 12-18 months, resulting in a complex and rich flavor profile. Expect a bouquet of honey, toasted hazelnuts, and white flowers with a palate of ripe yellow fruits, vanilla, and a touch of minerality. This wine has an excellent aging potential of up to 30 years, making it a great addition to any wine cellar. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with seafood, pork, or creamy sauces.

About the Winery

M. Chapoutier

Maison M Chapoutier is an attractive French winery that emphasises the terroirs where the fruits are cultivated. This label's history dates back to 1808, when the area for establishing it was created in L'Hermitage in Tain. The ownership of this House changed over the next few years, before it finally came under the control of Rodolphe Delepine in 1883. In 1897, Marius Chapoutier joined hands with Delepine to establish the company, Delepine et Chapoutier. The wines made by this company were of top-notch quality. They began to export these wines to countries like Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland.
