Region

Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Appellation

Hermitage

Hermitage, a revered appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley, France, stands as a viticultural icon synonymous with Syrah greatness. What makes Hermitage unique is its commanding south-facing granite slopes along the Rhône River, bathed in sunlight and sheltered from the mistral winds. This terroir imparts distinct intensity and concentration to the Syrah grapes, resulting in wines of extraordinary depth and longevity. Hermitage wines are renowned for their complexity, showcasing dark fruit, black pepper, and a profound minerality. The appellation also allows for a small percentage of white grapes—Marsanne and Roussanne—adding elegance and aromatic richness to the whites produced. Legendary producers like Chapoutier and Jaboulet have contributed to Hermitage's reputation for excellence, highlighting the appellation's dedication to crafting wines that embody the essence of Syrah and the unique terroir of the Rhône Valley. Exploring Hermitage offers a captivating journey into the pinnacle of Northern Rhône winemaking, where tradition, terroir, and the Syrah grape converge to create wines of unparalleled stature.

Wine Advocate

Of the three sélection parcellaire whites, the 2015 Ermitage de l’Orée is the most fresh and lively, with full-bodied richness and depth in its pineapple, mint, tropical fruits, toasted bread, brioche and liquid rock-styled aromas and flavors. It has good acidity, a stacked mid-palate and one seriously long finish.

DC 97pts

Decanter

Tight bouquet, deep mass of jumbled fruits. Glorious and fat in a complex, provocative wine. In a different league.

JS 96pts

James Suckling

Super-spicy, almost white-pepper aromas with a wealth of lemon and grapefruit, dried-herb and more savory, mealy, almond-pastry-like notes. The palate has essence-like, lemon and grapefruit flavors. Some very smooth, long and fleshy fruit presence and power. Great depth. From organically grown grapes. Drink in 2020.

VM 96pts

Vinous Media

94-96 Limpid gold. Pungent Meyer lemon, candied pear and vanilla scents show superb clarity and complicating hints of anise and smoky lees. Minerally and precise on the palate, offering densely packed pear, lemon curd and marzipan flavors and deeper suggestions of buttered toast and honey that build as the wine opens up. Shows superb energy and delineation and finishes supple and extremely long, with a lingering floral note.
