M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Rouge 2022
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Ermitage Le Méal Rouge 2022 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 14–16 months in concrete and used oak barrels, offering a deep garnet hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and mineral finesse, showcasing Hermitage’s terroir.
The nose reveals black raspberry, cassis, and roasted herbs, with hints of graphite, floral notes, and black pepper. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and polished, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of black fruit, spice, and a long, mineral finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this red with Western dishes like grilled steak or lamb chops to highlight its bold fruit and spice. For Chinese cuisine, try 紅燒牛肉, 烤鴨, 孜然羊肉, 醬燒排骨, 香辣牛柳, or 滷牛腱 to complement its full body and peppery notes. Ideal for hearty dinners or festive occasions.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16°C with one hour of decanting to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2042 for added complexity. Explore our Hermitage collection for more Syrah classics.
