The freshness and refinement of a red wine from Ermitage
The estate
Established since 1808 in Tain-L'Hermitage, the M. Chapoutier House today embodies the elite of the greatest names in wines from the Rhône Valley.
Vinegrower and merchant, Michel Chapoutier has managed over the vintages to lead this family business to the top. The wines of the Chapoutier House are recognized for their refinement and high quality by the finest connoisseurs beyond borders. A man of many hats, Michel Chapoutier holds the world record for 100/100 scores awarded by American critic Robert Parker. Mathilde, Michel Chapoutier's daughter, has taken up the torch of this iconic house, overseeing a vineyard of over 350 hectares across the most prestigious appellations of the northern and southern Rhône Valley.
The vineyard
The Pavillon 2014 from M. Chapoutier is an Ermitage wine made from a plot of about 4 hectares that derives its uniqueness from its atypical geology consisting of a thin layer of sediments resting on a granitic subsoil. The grapes produced from this vineyard of old vines, averaging 65 years old, are recognized for their high quality.
Vinification and aging
Ensuring a low yield, these old vines are harvested manually, at the limit of overripeness. 100% destemming then vinification in concrete vats accompanied by one to two punch-downs per day to ensure optimal extraction. Maceration of 4 to 5 weeks.
Made exclusively from a free-run wine, this single-vineyard cuvée benefits from an aging of 18 to 20 months in oak barrels (including on average 30% new barrels). The clarification is natural.
