2023 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $95.00
AT CART MAX

It’s been said that Hermitage should taste like…Hermitage. While there may not be an official definition of what that means exactly, those who have been fortunate enough to experience truly great Hermitage might have an idea. For me, this vintage of La Pierrelle really defines it: expansive savory aromas, meaty, broad, velvety tannins, grandness, ripeness and freshness, all at once. Only in Hermitage!

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
