✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Perched at the very summit of the legendary Hermitage hill, surrounding the historic chapel of Saint-Christophe, lies the 'L'Ermite' vineyard. This mythical site, steeped in the lore of the 13th-century crusader-turned-hermit Gaspard de Stérimberg, yields one of the world's most profound and collectible white wines. Crafted from extremely old Marsanne vines—some exceeding a century in age—clinging to poor, granite soils, M. Chapoutier's L'Ermite Blanc is a masterclass in biodynamic viticulture. The grapes are hand-harvested at peak maturity and fermented in demi-muids, followed by extensive aging on the lees. This painstaking process coaxes out an incredibly complex, full-bodied masterpiece defined by striking minerality, notes of white flowers, beeswax, toasted nuts, and exotic spices, backed by an astonishingly powerful structure.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
M. Chapoutier blev grundlagt i 1808 i Tain-l'Hermitage i Rhônedalen og har siden udviklet sig til et af Frankrigs mest berømte vinhuse. Husets internationale stjernestatus tog for alvor fart, da Michel Chapoutier overtog roret i 1990 med sin kompromisløse vision. Som pioner inden for biodynamisk vindyrkning og minimal intervention i vinkælderen er ejendommen særligt hyldet for sine enkeltmarks-aftapninger, 'sélections parcellaires', der formidler de fineste terroiregenskaber på tværs af Rhône og andre vinregioner. Chapoutier, der siden 1996 ikonisk har haft punktskrift (blindeskrift) på alle etiketter, skaber referencepunkter for druer som Syrah, Marsanne og Grenache i prestigiøse appellationer som Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie og Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
