The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Leader of the biodynamic movement in viticulture, Michel Chapoutier is one of the greatest winemakers of all times. A true craftsman, he creates great wines that represent the best qualities of their appellation.


In particular on the Hermitage terroir, his favorite part of the region, where he makes anthology parcel wines. These terroir wines, produced biodynamically, are the height of complexity and refinement. Crafted to perfection, they have few equivalents.


They are, of course, produced in very limited quantities. These sought-after wines are rarely accessible... Today, we are honored to present to you the complete range of Chapoutier's parcel based wines in an exceptional vintage, at an "en-primeur" price! An offer unheard of everywhere else!
Wine A monument of the appellation and the vintage, the 2019 Red Ermitage L'Ermite snags a very rare 100/100 Parker! And for good reason: its deep notes of black currant and black fruit, its richness and power are simply incredible and make up an outstanding wine that outclasses its peers. It is undoubtedly the most accomplished of Chapoutier's hermitages, complex and impressive, with a lot of freshness and minerality. A great wine of patience and time, which will find its total fulfillment over another two decades.
Vinification Hand harvested, 100% de-stemmed and vinified in concrete vats, aged in oak barrels of which 20% are new, 20% in one-wine barrels, 20% in two-wine barrels and the balance in concrete vats.
