2007 Ermitage Rouge, L'Ermite, M. Chapoutier, Rhône riebeeksrivier On the palateSurveying the magisterial Rhne from 200 metres up the hill of Hermitage, its 80 year old vines surrounding the iconic chapel of LErmite, this vineyard produces the most masculine and robust of Michels wines. Low yields are responsible for a wine of great power and intensity with smoky dark fruits supported by firm tannins and notes of black pepper. Ermitage Rouge, l'Ermite is certainly a wine for the cellar.
