The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Leader of the biodynamic movement in viticulture, Michel Chapoutier is one of the greatest winemakers of all times. A true craftsman, he creates great wines that represent the best qualities of their appellation.


In particular on the Hermitage terroir, his favorite part of the region, where he makes anthology parcel wines. These terroir wines, produced biodynamically, are the height of complexity and refinement. Crafted to perfection, they have few equivalents.


They are, of course, produced in very limited quantities. These sought-after wines are rarely accessible... Today, we are honored to present to you the complete range of Chapoutier's parcel based wines in an exceptional vintage, at an "en-primeur" price! An offer unheard of everywhere else!
Wine A model wine, the 2019 Red Ermitage Le Méal is an educational hermitage, a concentration of the finest attributes of this terroir. Ripe fruit, dense and structured texture, and incredibly rich tannins : everything converges towards balance, with touches of mocha and deep black olives. A wine destined for a great future. Rated 97+/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested at maturity, total destemming, aged 14 to 18 months in new or 1 year old barrels.

Organic and Biodynamic wine, certified by Demeter.
