Description

The "Clos de l'Ermitage" plot is located at a higher altitude on Mount St-Desire. The Pinot Noir grapes grow in calcareous clay soil that overlies hard Oxfordian limestone, allowing them to express all of their finesse along with tautness that is paired with characteristic minerality. The presence of numerous "meurgers" (stones piled up by humans) attest to the shallowness of this particularly rocky soil. The wine showcases an elegant nose featuring notes of red fruit (cherry, raspberry...), which mingle with slightly grilled, smoky nuances that will evolve towards leather and forest undergrowth over time. The palate is fleshy and elegant, structured by dense, but fine tannins. Lovely length showcases the minerality of this terroir.
