Ermitage Les Greffieux Chapoutier 2011 is a single-vineyard Syrah sourced from the renowned Greffieux terroir at the base of the Hermitage hill. The vineyard features glacial alluvial soils, rich in clay and gravel, which impart distinctiveness to the fruit. Hand-harvested and fully destemmed, the grapes undergo vinification in cement vats with extended maceration for optimal tannin extraction. The wine is aged for 14 to 18 months in a combination of new and previously used barrels. Chapoutier, established in 1808, champions biodynamic practices in its vineyards.
