Chapoutier - Ermitage - L'Ermite - Red - 2020

Wine:

The undisputed success of the appellation and of the vintage, the 2020 red L'Ermite Ermitage, is impressive in its concentration and fullness. Its deep notes of blackcurrant and black fruit, its richness and power make up a wine that is still restrained, with great promise for longevity.
