Chapoutier Hermitage Sizeranne Rouge 750ml

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Deep garnet red with purplish highlights.
• Aroma: Enticing scents of red fruits such as raspberry and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle hints of licorice.
• Palate: Begins with a robust attack, leading to a round and elegant mouthfeel. The wine boasts concentrated yet gentle tannins, with flavors of blackcurrant, raspberry, and a touch of spice, particularly pepper, in its youth.

Terroir and Vinification:

The grapes for this wine are sourced from a blend of different soils across the Hermitage hill:

• Les Bessards: Characterized by granitic origins, forming the "soul" of a good Hermitage.
• Le Méal: Comprising old alluvial terraces with a mix of gravels and calcareous shingles.
• Les Greffieux: Featuring silty soil with shingles.

The grapes are entirely destemmed and undergo fermentation in concrete tanks using traditional methods with indigenous yeasts. This process allows the terroir to express itself fully. The wine is aged for 18 months, with 85% in oak barrels to impart subtle oak notes, and the remaining 15% in concrete tanks to preserve minerality and freshness.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including:

• Venison fillet in a red wine sauce
• Roast beef
• A ripe Saint-Félicien cheese

M. Chapoutier Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne Rouge is a wine that beautifully captures the essence of its terroir, delivering a refined and memorable tasting experience.
