WINE DESCRIPTION
M. Chapoutier Ermitage l'Ermite is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned winemaker Michel Chapoutier. This wine comes from the Ermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards that produce some of the world's most exceptional wines. The l'Ermite vineyard is particularly special, as it is situated on a south-facing slope with granite soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process is meticulous, with hand-harvested grapes and careful aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, complex red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth. M. Chapoutier Ermitage l'Ermite is a true masterpiece of winemaking, and a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
