M. Chapoutier Le Pavillon Ermitage 2012
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
Pure perfection in Syrah, the 2012 Ermitage Le Pavillon comes from the pure granite soils of the Les Bessards lieu-dit and was brought up in around 30-35% new demi-muids. This blockbuster yet magical wine offers everything: incredible aromatics, huge richness and intensity, no sensation of weight or heaviness, and a finish that just goes on and on. With lots of sweet dark cassis and raspberry fruit, it has an almost Méal-like sexiness yet shows more and more minerality as well as tannins on the finish. It's a quintessential, awesome, perfect wine to enjoy over the coming 20-25 years. Maturity: 2019-2044. Score - 100. (jebdunnuck.com, Nov. 14, 2019)
