The Winemaker - ''Located on the land of Beaume and Péléat, my Hermitage vines, dutifully and lovingly tended, are over 40 years old and are rooted in a soil of loess. South-West facing, the plots enjoy abundant sunshine throughout the vegetative cycle, thus providing grapes with the raw material I require to bottle the much sought-after DNA of this mythical Hermitage hillside.''

Tasting Notes
This is a wine to decant before enjoying! The nose is subdued prior to aerating but with time blackberry jam, liquorice, tobacco and vanilla aromas are revealed. The palate is generous but supported by dense tannins and vibrant acidity. Pan-fried duck breast will work excellently with this Hermitage.
