Chapoutier La Sizeranne Hermitage(1995)
Soil
Our Hermitage « Monier de la Sizeranne » grows on different types of soil, from West to East : - « les Bessards » : Granite origin. It forms the "soul" of a good Hermitage wine - « le Méal » : Old alluvial terrace, with a lot of gravels and rolled pebbles, more or less chalky - « les Greffieux » : Limon with rolled stones.
Harvesting
Hand harvesting at optimal maturity.
Vinification
The grapes ferment in open wooden vats after total destemming. Two daily treadings ensure a good extraction of the tannins. The temperature of fermentation read more...

- Color: Deep garnet red, with purple highlights. Nose: Red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant), with a hint of liquorice. Mouth: Good attack, it is a round, elegant wine, soft and concentrated tannins, and a long aftertaste of blackcurrant and raspberry, spicy when it is young.
