M Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon 2006 is a mature single-vineyard red wine produced from Syrah grapes in the northern Rhône Valley of France. Produced from biodynamically farmed old vines aged 90-100 years on the famed hill of Hermitage, Chapoutier`s Le Pavillon is consistently one of the profoundest and most-long-lived Syrahs from the Hermitage vineyard. "Showing more minerality than the Le Meal, yet more plushness and sexiness than the L’Ermite, the 2006 Ermitage le Pavillon is a tour de force that gives up sensational notes of crushed rocks, blackberries, currants, smoked meats and licoricey. It shows a touch of iron and bloodiness with time in the glass, is full-bodied, seamless and incredibly layered on the palate. There’s no shortage of tannin either and this beauty needs 4-5 years of cellaring to hit full maturity, and will keep for another 2-3 decades." Jeb Dunnuck, 2017
