Ermitage Le Pavillon 2007

The 2007 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon Magnum comes from the heart of the Northern Rhône , where Maison Chapoutier has cultivated the steep granite slopes of the Hermitage for generations. Le Pavillon is considered the estate's flagship wine – a single-varietal Syrah from vines over 80 years old, vinified biodynamically without any sulfites added before bottling. The grapes ripen on the warmest, south-facing plots of the appellation and are hand-selected. This Vintage shows particular longevity and aging potential in the magnum bottle.

Vinification is carried out traditionally in open wooden vats with gentle extraction and extended maceration. Aging lasts up to 18 months in new French oak barrels, which impart the wine's complex structure and depth. The M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon 2007 is characterized by elegant restraint – no trace of over-oak influence, instead pure terroir expression and mineral precision.

On the nose, dense aromas of black olives, smoked bacon, dark chocolate, and wild garrigue herbs unfold. The palate reveals an impressive structure with silky, ripe tannins that support the wine without dominating it. Notes of cassis, graphite, and violets meld with subtle spice. The finish is endless, cool, and remarkably minerally precise.
