100 Robert Parker
Still a youngster, the blockbuster 1995 Ermitage le Pavillon is a quintessential Hermitage in every way. Full-bodied, powerful, thick and unctuous, with tons of smoky, black, black fruits, tar, saddle leather and peppery herbs, this perfect wine is massively concentrated, rich and stacked, with masses of ripe tannin hiding under its still lively and fresh fruit. And while it’s a brilliant drink today, it’s still not yet fully mature. This tour de Force beauty will see its 50th birthday in fine form!
94 Wine Spectator
Beautifully defined and characteristic flavors of black cherry, spice, licorice and violets shine through this medium-bodied, perfectly focused red. Not a blockbuster, but it's firm and crisp, and completely true to the appellation, marrying international-quality winemaking with authentic local character.
Producer
Maison M. Chapoutier
Maison M. Chapoutier owns a significant vineyard holding on the famed Hermitage hill, but this winery also acts as one of the most important négociants in the northern Rhône Valley. The innovative and determined Michel Chapoutier has run his family’s domaine since 1990. In addition to introducing biodynamic viticultural practices in his vineyards, he has taken the property’s production number to another level, multiplying it tenfold. Michel has built quite a reputation for this estate - his pioneering spirit even led to the use of braille on his labels, as well as being the first to fully market single-vineyard bottling of Hermitage - setting Maison M. Chapoutier at the forefront. Amongst the wide-spanning collection of Rhône labels, the top wines are undoubtedly well-crafted benchmarks of their appellations. Hermitage now comes in a several guises, in both red and white, the wines are gracefully opulent. The top Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage wines are labeled with the traditional spelling, Ermitage. Each of the Ermitage wines, Ermite, le Pavillon, and le Méal are brilliant reds - powerful and plush.
