Ermitage L`Ermite Chapoutier 2013 is a 100% Syrah sourced from the distinguished Hermitage Hill, where vines averaging 80 years of age thrive in poor granitic soils. The grapes are selectively hand-harvested to enhance alcohol content and are completely destemmed. Fermentation occurs in concrete tanks over approximately four weeks, maintaining temperatures below 32C to ensure optimal extraction. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation in new and previously used casks for 18 to 20 months.
