Winemaking Style:Innovative
Harvest:Hand-picked grapes to small perforated boxes of 15 kg.
Winemaking:The 100% destalked grapes are vinified
in concrete tanks. Maceration lasts
4 to 6 weeks in order to obtain silky,
stable tannins that will give the wine very long
aging potential. Temperatures above 30°C are
desirable to favour texture (polymerization of
tannins) over aromas. Only free run wine is used for
this wine
Viticulture:Shallow, sandy, leached, brown soils,
from Tournon granite, situated at the top
of the Hermitage hill, near the chapel,
in a locality known as l’Ermite.
