🏰The 2018 Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon is a highly acclaimed vintage, earning multiple 98-point scores from top critics and considered a 【legendary Hermitage in the making】. Crafted from Syrah vines over 90 years old from the pure granite soils of Bessards, this wine is built for considerable bottle age. Expect a plush, full-bodied beauty combining fruity notes of blueberries with savory black olives and rich, earthy undertones. It presents a meaty, gamey bouquet of black and blue fruits, crushed rock, liquid violets, olives, and acacia flowers, with a tight, backward mouthfeel and velvety tannins that will soften with time. 🍴 This bold and structured Syrah is an exceptional match for roasted lamb, venison, wild boar, or rich, slow-cooked stews. 🥂 An outstanding choice for a grand dinner, a significant celebration, or a serious tasting among Rhône wine enthusiasts. This wine will reward patient cellaring for decades.
