M. Chapoutier Ermitage L'Ermite Rouge 2014
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Ermitage L'Ermite Rouge 2014 is a refined Syrah from 80-year-old vines on granitic soils around the Hermitage chapel. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards, it’s aged 18–20 months in French oak barrels (25% new), offering a deep purple hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and mineral finesse, showcasing Hermitage’s terroir.
The nose reveals blackberry, cassis, and graphite, with hints of crushed stone, smoke, and roasted herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, with structured tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of black fruit, pepper, and a long, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2014 Ermitage L'Ermite Rouge earned 94–96 points from Wine Advocate for its concentrated depth and structured profile. CellarTracker users averaged 92.6 points for its complex, mineral-driven character.
