Ermitage Le Pavillon

Dense and well-composed, this showcases mulberries, plums, roasted meat, dried herbs, leather and stones. Full-bodied with ripe, sinewy tannins. The spicy influence on this warm, dry vintage brings vivacity, intensity and character to a concentrated core of dark berries. This shows solid frame and structure and a lingering, peppery finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink from 2029.

Welcome to the seductively dark and smoky heart of Hermitage. Enormously rich and spicy, with great blackberry fruit plus a touch of red beets, then the very bright and pure tannins charge through, followed by the mineral acidity that sets the sky alight at the extremely long and linear finish. How could you resist this beauty that is simultaneously so deep and playful? Great aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

There's impressive intensity to this powerful red, particularly for the lighter vintage. A compact core of black licorice, plum and anise is layered atop smoldering tobacco and crushed graphite elements that hover in the backdrop. Piercing acidity keeps this fresh and vibrant despite its weight. A massive wine that stretches way out, with lavender and bitter tar details. Best from 2026 through 2045. 10 cases imported.
