"Chapoutier has produced a 1994 Hermitage Vin de Paille. Only about 1000 bottles of this unfiltered wine were produced. Aged completely in new oak, it exhibits an amber color, a sweet butterscotch, peach, tea, and orange marmalade-scented nose, great structure, and amazing richness and length. Michel Chapoutier feels this wine, which tastes like ripe apricots, will last at least a century. Not many readers are in a position to argue with him."

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.
