Producer tasting notes: "Appearance: deep garnet red, with purplish lights. Nose: red fruit (rapberry, blackcurrant), with a hint of liquorice. Palate: good attack, round and elegant wine with concentrated and gentle tannins. The final is on blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy (pepper) aromas when it is young." - M. Chapoutier
Grape variety
Syrah
Soil
Our Hermitage “Monier de la Sizeranne”comes from a blending of different soils from West to East: “les Bessardsââ‚? from a granitic origin, it constitutes the “soulââ‚?of a good Hermitage.
Also“le Méalââ‚? old alluvial terraces, with a lot of gravels and shingles more or less calcareous. Then “les Greffieuxââ‚? silty soil with shingles.
Harvest
Hand harvesting at optimal maturity
Vinification
Entirely destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treading ensure a good extraction. Temperature varies between 30 and 33°C.
Maturing
The ageing is performed in oak casks between 12 and 14 months. This gives to the wine woody aromas which are a component of the bouquet. Several rackings allow a slow and natural clarification.
