Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne comes from a blending of grapes grown on different soil-types. “Les Bessards”, from a granitic origin, it constitutes the “soul” of a good Hermitage. “Le Méal”, old alluvial terraces, with a lot of gravels and shingles more or less calcareous. “Les Greffieux”, silty soil with shingles.
The grapes are hand harvested at optimum maturity, then entirely destemmed and fermented in concrete tanks. Winemakers then aged it for 18 months, 85% of which takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine its notes of oak. The remaining 15% is aged in concrete tanks to preserve minerality and freshness.
The name ‘Monier de la Sizeranne’ comes from the name of an important Tain l’Hermitage family, who also owned the ‘La Sizeranne’ vineyard. Maurice Monier, one of many notable members of the family, appears on many of the Chapoutier labels due to his creation of a version of Braille.
Enjoy this delightful Hermitage red wine with game and lavish sauces – it’s ready to drink now but will evolve gloriously until 2030.
Red fruits with a hint of liquorice are evident on the nose. The palate is round and elegant with flavours of blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy aromas when it is young.
