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.
Sommelier’s advice: Venison fillet in red wine sauce. Beef rosted. Mature “Saint Félicien” cheese.
Grape variety/varieties: Syrah.
Harvest: Hand harvesting at optimal maturity.
Soil: Our Hermitage “Monier de la Sizeranne” comes from a blending of different soils from West to East: • “les Bessards”: from a granitic origin, it constitutes the “soul” of a good Hermitage. • “le Méal”: old alluvial terraces, with a lot of gravels and shingles more or less calcareous. • “les Greffieux”: silty soil with shingles.
Vinification: Entirely destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. Temperature varies between 30 and 33°C.
Ageing: 18 months ageing, 85% of which takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine its notes of oak. The remaining 15% is aged in concrete tanks to preserve minerality and freshness.
Alcohol content: 14%
