Maison M Chapoutier – Le Pavillon – 2009
Ermitage
France,
Rhone Valley,
Still rather youthful but with an excellent purity, mineral notions and pure, inky fruit, notes of blackberry, fine spices, smoke and blackcurrant. The palate is explosive and muscular showing immense concentration without heaviness, plenty of extract and substance, delicious dark fruit, fine spiciness, a hint of smoke and incense, absolutely marvellous finish that keeps lingering for a very long time - truly grand vin, amazing and should age forever.
