"A classic effort, the 2012 Hermitage (all destemmed and from the Les Bessards, Les Greffieux and Les Plantiers lieux-dits) has lots of tapenade, earth, charcuterie and currant-like aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, firm and tight on the palate, with an old-school feel in its tannic structure and acidity. . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Produces some of the world's most powerful and long-lived Syrah from a single granite hill, yielding dense, structured reds and rich whites.
