The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine To reward the loyalty of Chapoutier’s single-parcel enthusiasts in Hermitage, we are offering an exclusive allocation, along with a special surprise—a bottle of Chante-Alouette gifted with every €500 purchase. A true expression of this legendary terroir, Chante-Alouette blends fruit from multiple parcels, bringing together all the nuances of the hillside.

This is a rare opportunity, given the prestige and scarcity of these wines, consistently awarded top Parker ratings. The exceptional 2020 vintage stands as one of the decade’s finest, showcasing remarkable depth and an outstanding aging potential.
Wine From 4 hectares of very special soil with a granite subsoil, the 2020 red Le Pavillon Ermitage is a 100% Syrah harvested at the limit of over-ripeness and aged in oak barrels with one-third new wood, offering the quintessence of its terroir. Notes of warm stone, mocha, and black fruits, bonded in an extremely rich texture with ripe tannins, profile a very great wine, an "essence of granite" of superb balance, which is also very intense, deep, and of rare elegance. A great wine of time and emotion, which will outperform its peers and offer superior aging potential. Impressive! Rated 100/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested, 100% de-stemmed and vinified in concrete vats, aged from 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, 30% of which are new.

Organic and Biodynamic wine, certified by Demeter.
