Ermitage Le Pavillon Chapoutier 1989 is a distinguished expression of the Hermitage appellation, produced from low-yielding old vines, some over 70 years old. The wine presents a deep, dark hue indicative of its concentration. Aromas emerge with elements of dark fruits, minerals and subtle oak. On the palate, it showcases a rich texture balanced by notable structure and ageing potential. Michel Chapoutier, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, has consistently aimed for clarity in terroir expression in this wines. This is a mature, flagship bottling.
