Spec sheet
The wine
The Hermit has a very dark purple dress almost black. Its nose is composed of black fruits with hints of spices and ink. On the palate, its very powerful and at the same time velvety tannins, notes of smoke, pepper, beautifully express the Syrah on this granite soil. Depending on the vintage, the wine can be kept for 30 to 60 years, or even 50 to 75 years.

M. Chapoutier
The Maison Chapoutier lays claim to a family tradition which dates back to 1808, although it wasn't until Michel Chapoutier took control of the company in 1990 that its wines began to stand out, with a very extensive catalogue offering a variety of high quality products.
