Producer tasting notes: “Appearance: deep garnet red, with purplish lights. Nose: red fruit (rapberry, blackcurrant), with a hint of liquorice. Palate: good attack, round and elegant wine with concentrated and gentle tannins. The final is on blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy (pepper) aromas when it is young.” – M. Chapoutier
Grape variety
Syrah
Soil
Our Hermitage Monier de la Sizerannecomes from a blending of different soils from West to East: les Bessards from a granitic origin, it constitutes the soul of a good Hermitage.

Harvest
Hand harvesting at optimal maturity
Vinification
Entirely destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treading ensure a good extraction. Temperature varies between 30 and 33C.
Maturing
The ageing is performed in oak casks between 12 and 14 months. This gives to the wine woody aromas which are a component of the bouquet. Several rackings allow a slow and natural clarification.
