Chapoutier - Ermitage - Les Greffieux - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

The 2020 red Ermitage Les Greffieux was born at the foot of the Hermitage hill and fully restores the soul and character of this great terroir. Black fruits, fresh mint, spices, and violets are combined in a very full-bodied structure, with present and firm tannins, particularly concentrated in this vintage. Rich and powerful in aroma, it is also caressing thanks to a silky texture of great quality, with an affirmed delicacy and perfectly ripe tannins. Rated 96/100 by Parker.
