2014 Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon Rouge

Northern Rhone by a mile! On the nose there is that tell tale smokey bacon of great cool climate Syrah. Compared to its siblings, the 2014 Ermitage Le Pavillon is pure, fresh, lifted and generally more Burgundian in style. It is approachable with juicy acidity, mineral and long. (CW 19/05/15)
