M. Chapoutier Ermitage Les Greffieux Rouge 2017
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Ermitage Les Greffieux Rouge 2017 is a refined Syrah from 70-year-old vines on deep, sedimentary soils at the base of the Le Méal lieu-dit. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards with 100% destemming, it’s aged 18 months in demi-muids (20% new), offering a dark ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and spicy finesse, showcasing Hermitage’s terroir.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, redcurrant, and black olive, with hints of garrigue, smoke, and spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and plush, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and a long, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2017 Ermitage Les Greffieux Rouge earned 94 points from Wine Advocate for its opulent, seductive fruit and structure. Jancis Robinson awarded 90 points for its plush, generous character.
