The vineyard
M. Chapoutier's Ermite 2021 white wine is an Ermitage wine that stems from a vineyard located at the top of the slope of Hermitage, around the chapel in a place called l'Ermite. This fine Rhone Valley terroir is unique due to its nutrient-poor granite soils.
The vintage
2021 is a vintage during which the shifting weather conditions between the northern and southern parts of the Rhone Valley revealed the nuances and richness of each of these fine terroirs. This vintage exudes an alluring finesse and its aromatic palette harmoniously blends complexity and elegance.

Complex and racy, the nose blends fragrances of lemon zest and toasted pine nuts with subtle smoky notes.
Palate
Pure and precise, the palate is seductive with its delicate texture and salinity. While this Ermitage white wine may seem closed in its youth, it will reveal its exceptional aging potential over the years to come.
