Chapoutier, Ermitage Meal Blanc Size:6x750ml what this estate will produce

what this estate will produce in the next twenty years will completely surpass the previous twenty years

but promises great aging potential

plum and cassis notes that really stick with you

It's a totally brilliant wine bristling with energy

I had two vintages of the old-vine cuvée to taste side by side

Layered, full bodied and with notable freshness and purity, it's drinking beautifully today but has another two plus decades of evolution.
