M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Rouge 2016

From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Ermitage Le Méal Rouge 2016 is a refined Syrah from 50-year-old vines on high terraces of shingles and clay in the Le Méal lieu-dit. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards with 100% destemming, it’s aged 18 months in demi-muids (25% new), offering a deep garnet hue with vibrant complexity.
