The Ermitage Blanc L’Ermite 2019 is a profound expression of Marsanne from century-old vines rooted in granite soils at the very top of Hermitage hill, near the historic chapel. This wine is legendary for its depth and rarity, offering a nose of white flowers, quince, acacia honey, toasted almond, and subtle mineral tones. On the palate, it combines opulence with tension, delivering rich texture and remarkable balance between ripe fruit, saline minerality, and fresh acidity. The 2019 vintage, noted for its concentration and structure, promises extraordinary cellaring potential, with the ability to evolve gracefully for decades, revealing ever more nuance and complexity with time.
Maison M. Chapoutier is one of the most historic and revered estates in the Rhône Valley, with roots tracing back to 1808. Under the visionary leadership of Michel Chapoutier since the late 1980s, the domaine has become synonymous with biodynamic viticulture, single-vineyard expressions, and a deep respect for terroir. Based in Tain-l’Hermitage, Chapoutier crafts benchmark wines from both northern and southern Rhône appellations, consistently delivering precision, complexity, and longevity. The estate’s Sélections Parcellaires—tiny productions from exceptional lieux-dits—stand at the pinnacle of quality, embodying the philosophy that great wine begins in the vineyard.
