2010 Hermitage, Monier de la Sizeranne, Maison Chapoutier

Hermitage, Monier de la Sizeranne, Maison Chapoutier
BBR started working with the Chapoutiers in 1926 and it was this cuvée, or at least a forebear thereof, which cemented the long and happy relationship, The usual conceit runs along the lines of; ‘ well it stands to reason that it can’t be a good as it used to be as all the grapes go into the single vineyard wines’…whilst we can not dispute the veracity of this statement, we can certainly endorse the quality of the wine in 2010…ripe seductive raspberry flavours with classic notes of gibier and sousbois, very firm but ripe tannins and a strong finish.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

Of all the large Négociant Houses in the Rhône, Chapoutier is by far the most quality-driven and the most impressive. Michel can be described as pragmatic, enigmatic, dogmatic and probably several less flattering terms, but he is certainly driven, both by a biodynamic philosophy which does not brook short-cuts and by a deep almost atavistic communion with the soil which, amazingly, is applied to his entire production. The fact that his workers’ canteen, which certainly looks like a workers’ canteen, actually serves food which should, by rights, be re and awarded with a Michelin star, is telling indeed…

Hermitage, Monier de la Sizeranne, Maison Chapoutier
The dense purple 2010 Ermitage Monier de La Sizeranne exhibits loads of pepper, licorice, camphor, and plenty of cassis along with a beef blood component. Full and rich, it should drink reasonably well within 2-4 years and keep for two decades.
