Rare Chapoutier Hermitage verticals
Collection Cases of L’Ermite, Le Pavillon, Le Méal and L’Orée
These remarkable Collection Cases celebrate four of Chapoutier’s top cuvées, from the most desirable plots in Hermitage. These vineyards are some of the Northern Rhône’s finest – producing complex and age-worthy expressions of Syrah and Marsanne.
Each of the four cases is a vertical of one of Chapoutier’s iconic single-vineyard wines: Syrah from L’Ermite and Le Pavillon, and Marsanne from L’Orée and Le Méal. Spanning vintages from 2008 to 2017, these Collection Cases offer a rare chance to explore the expression of each terroir through a range of vintages – with each growing season bringing its own nuance.
On top of that, these are some of the most decorated wines ever made – many receiving 100 points from the Wine Advocate.
