These bottles come to us from a very small collection of top-caliber wine. The collector is a lover of fine wine and spirits and it was a shift in drinking preferences that brought them to IronGate. They were cellared to perfection in an in-home cooling system and personally inspected by our President, Warren Porter.
2009 M Chapoutier Ermitage L'Ermite Hermitage has following scores - The Wine Advocate 98, Wine Spectator 98, Jeb Dunnuck 97. 2010 M Chapoutier Ermitage L'Ermite Hermitage has following scores - The Wine Advocate 100. 2010 M Chapoutier Ermitage L'Ermite Hermitage has the score of 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The 2010 Ermitage l’Ermite (454 cases produced) is another perfect wine. Completely different than Le Pavillon, l’Ermite is always slightly more austere. It comes from a 7.5-acre parcel of sandy, granitic soils at the top of the Hill of Hermitage that produces both red and white compelling Hermitages, somewhat unusual in this tiny appellation. The black/purple-colored 2010 l’Ermite exhibits a tight, more mineral-dominated set of aromatics offering up hints of blue and black fruits, charcoal, steak tartare and an unmistakable floral note. This full-bodied, more austere and tannic effort reveals extraordinary weight, palate penetration and purity. It represents the concentrated essence of a specific site as well as the Syrah grape planted in this magical appellation. Forgot it for 10-15 years, possibly two decades, and drink it over the following 50-75 years.
