WINE DESCRIPTION

M. Chapoutier Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned winemaker Michel Chapoutier. This wine comes from the Hermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards that produce some of the world's most exceptional Syrah grapes. The Monier de la Sizeranne vineyard, in particular, is known for its granite soils and south-facing slopes, which provide ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a wine that is full-bodied, complex, and elegant.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

M. Chapoutier's Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne is an exquisite expression of the appellation's terroir.An intense nose of ripe red fruit and smoky earth leads to a palate full of blackberry, cassis, and spice. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and satisfying. An outstanding and complex wine, it is a great example of the power and elegance of Hermitage.

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.
