Ermitage Le Pavillon, Maison M. Chapoutier 2022

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Ermitage Le Pavillon is brilliant, and this will be one for the ages. Incredible aromatics of cassis, graphite, liquid rock-like minerality, and burning embers all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, and enough tannins to warrant 7-8 years of bottle age. While not a massive, blockbuster example of this cuvée, its purity, finesse, and elegance are something. This cuvée saw 15% stems and will spend 18 months in just 15% new barrels.
