Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Chapoutier's Ermitage l'Ermite possesses a transparent character that almost allows the taster to see through the wine's multiple levels. What stands out is the liqueur of granite liquid minerality. The elegant 1998 Ermitage l'Ermite rouge is light, but exquisitely balanced, with subtle notes of smoke and black currants. The flavors unfold gently and gracefully, with nothing overstated. The power is restrained, the tannin is well-integrated, and the acidity is barely noticeable. However, the wine is fresh and beautifully delineated. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040.

With 2 hours of double decanting under its belt, everything was in play. The wine is thick, rich, plush and polished, with layers of sweet, perfectly ripe dark berries, licorice, stone and earthy notes. The wine is long and fresh. The wine was even better with another hour or two in the glass.

Dark red color. Lively. Beautiful. Intense. Nose of medium intensity. Fine. Fruity. Smoky. Toasted. Superb smell of evolution and reduction. Both soot, cherry and mineral. Very beautiful entry on the palate, soft, smooth, developing on a fine and fruity mouthfeel. Slow complex and flavorsome tannic evolution on a fine grain and very, very aromatic, where flowers, fruits, spices mingle in great freshness. It is very long on a fine grain and very good! A crazy charm that has nothing to lose compared to the concentration of 99.

This was really good. Tannins are integrated, and the wine is showing nice notes of blackberry, pepper, cherry, earth, oak, leather, with medium intensity, and a nice roundness and elegance on the finish.

Savoury, earthy flavours with a hint of garrigue. Lovely texture and good balance with fairly long finish. After decanting for a few hours, the wine did open up - tannins softened and the some spicy notes came through. However, overall, the wine was not expressive and the flavours were lacking in depth.

Healthy crimson. Broad panoply of flavours. Very sweet at first then pinched and tart on the palate. No opulence or grandeur.

Château M. Chapoutier
M. Chapoutier
M. Chapoutier
Since 1808, the Chapoutier name has existed in the Rhone Valley. The distant ancestor Polydor Chapoutier was the first to start buying vineyards, thus moving from being a winemaker of an estate to becoming a winegrower, wine producer and merchant. The pioneering spirit was already inscribed in the family. Since 1990, Michel, in his forties, has been at the head of an exceptional vineyard. A land rich in history and traditions. Passionate about the expression of soils, Michel gives his convictions the means to flourish. Breaking choices, to succeed in synthesizing the past with his own audacity. History of time. As it goes for each element of nature. Time and earth. The roots, the vine and the fruit. From there was born all the richness and generosity of Maison M. Chapoutier.
