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.
Pros:
  • M. Chapoutier Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne is a full-bodied, powerful red wine that offers a complex array of aromas and flavors. It has a deep, dark color and aromas of ripe black fruit, spice, and earth. The palate is rich and powerful, with a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish

Cons:
  • M. Chapoutier Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne is a bold wine that can overpower less-experienced palates. It is a complex and powerful wine that can be too intense for some. The tannins are quite present, so it may not be an ideal choice for those who prefer wines with lower tannins

M. Chapoutier Domaine de Bila-Haut V.I.T Côtes du Roussillon Villages is mostly composed of Grenache Noir with around a third of Syrah. Whilst the grapes for this wine are sourced from France's Southwest region of Roussillon, the legendary vigneron Michel Chapoutier built his reputation as one of the finest winemakers and influential biodynamic proponents in the Rhone Valley. The grapes are typically hand harvested before being crushed and fermented in inert vessels. The wine is finally matured in barrels for around 18 months prior to its release.

When discussing the northern Rhône, the name Jamet sparks excitement. In the 1970s, Jean-Luc began winemaking with his father, and in 1985, he co-founded Domaine Jamet in Ampuis with his brother Jean-Paul. Over the years, the domain earned an excellent reputation beyond borders. However, with increasing success, tensions emerged between the brothers. Jean-Luc handled the hard work in the vineyard and cellar but remained overshadowed, while his brother managed wine sales. These conflicts and the desire to eventually pass on his own estate to his son led Jean-Luc to establish his winery in 2012. They divided the parcels between them, with Jean-Luc now owning 8 hectares in prime, slate-dominated locations, including renowned sites like Lancement, La Landonne, Fongeant, Côte Bodin, and Les Moutonnes, in Côte Rôtie. Jean-Luc maintains strict quality standards under his name, with extremely high vine densities of 10-12,000 vines per hectare and consistently low yields of under 40hl per hectare, resulting in exceptional, concentrated wines with captivating fruit and pronounced freshness.
