    “2003 Chapoutier Ermitage le Pavillon - 100 Pts! A legend of the future is the 2003 Ermitage Le Pavillon 659 cases. The equal of such stupendous examples as 1990 and 1989 the 2003 is incredibly rich as well as awesomely well-delineated and fresh. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by a subtle but impressively intense nose of barbecue smoke creme de cassis blueberries blackberries and white flowers. The wine cascades over the palate 15.8% natural alcohol with extraordinary richness intensity and silkiness. This seamlessly constructed Hermitage is analytically high in tannin but extremely low in acidity with a freaky accessibility a vintage character. Prodigiously concentrated and high in extract it should last for a half century or longer. It will be fascinating to follow over the next several decades. RP”

    About Chapoutier

    The family's history in the Rhône dates back to 1808, but it wasn't until 1879 that Polydor Chapoutier transitioned the family from growing grapes to making and trading wine. In 1988, Michel Chapoutier took the company reins, and a push toward quality saw the Chapoutier label begin to gain international recognition.

    Michel Chapoutier eschewed the use of traditional, large format chestnut foudres for aging, instead moving toward smaller oak casks with shorter aging periods. He also advocated keeping the wines unfiltered and unfined, and to work with only biodynamically or organically grown fruit across all of the vineyards.
