NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This M. Chapoutier Ermitage Les Greffieux is a powerful, full-bodied and complex Rhône red blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Marsanne.The nose offers intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, and ripe cherry, with hints of clove, nutmeg, and vanilla. On the palate, this wine is structured and well-balanced, with velvety tannins and pronounced flavors of dark fruit, leather, licorice, and spice. The long finish is filled with hints of black pepper and dried herbs. This is a serious and age-worthy wine that will continue to develop complexity and finesse as it matures.

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
