Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

Gorgeous, with velvety, plush black currant and plum fruit supported by very suave vanilla bean- and mocha java-tinged toast. Dense and long on the finish, with the toast caressing the fruit all the way through. Aromatic, richly flavored and balanced. Best from 2005 through 2014. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 600 cases made.

Vinous

Stephen Tanzer

Saturated red-ruby. Explosive, superripe aromas of black raspberry, boysenberry, black olive tapenade, licorice, coffee and smoked meat. Wonderfully opulent and voluptuous in the mouth, with a texture like liquid silk. Coats your mouth, cheeks and whatever other surfaces it can find. Finishes with extraordinarily fine tannins and great sweetness and persistence. The best bottle of Pavillon I've tasted in at least a decade.

La RVF

It’s hard to put an age on the bright, rich, viscous colour that clings to the glass, with its verbena-tinged highlights. Medium concentration through the mid-palate, yet still plenty of tension, carried by the gentle bitters on the finish. It lingers on notes of dried herbs and preserved lemon. The wine ends on a slight, bright natural oxidation.(

Decanter

Sourced from 4ha of 65-year-old vines on granitic soils in the lieu-dit of Les Bessards. It’s mature now, showing a very gamey character on the nose along with some leaf mulch and cigar tobacco. It’s still very full and richly fruited on the palate, with furry tannins that are perhaps just a little dry – not the most elegant tannic texture. There’s a saline, searching finish of good length. It’s a little gruff compared to the sleeker incarnation of today’s Le Pavillon, but nonetheless is very Hermitage and full of interest.

Description

A refined and harmonious Ermitage wine

The estate

Established since 1808 in Tain-L’Hermitage, the M. Chapoutier house today embodies the elite of the greatest names in the wines of the Rhône Valley.

Vinegrower and merchant, Michel Chapoutier has managed over the vintages to lead this family business to the top. The wines of Maison Chapoutier are recognized for their refinement and high quality by the finest connoisseurs beyond borders. A man of many hats, Michel Chapoutier holds the world record for 100/100 scores awarded by American critic Robert Parker. Mathilde, Michel Chapoutier's daughter, has taken up the torch of this iconic house, overseeing a vineyard of over 350 hectares across the most prestigious appellations of the northern and southern Rhône Valley.

The vineyard

The Pavillon de M. Chapoutier is an Ermitage wine made from a plot of about 4 hectares that owes its uniqueness to its atypical geology consisting of a thin layer of sediment resting on a granite subsoil. The grapes produced from this vineyard of old vines, averaging 65 years old, are recognized for their high quality.

Vinification and aging

Ensuring a low yield, these old vines are harvested manually, at the limit of overripeness. 100% destemming followed by vinification in concrete vats accompanied by one to two punch-downs per day to ensure optimal extraction. Maceration of 4 to 5 weeks. Made exclusively from a free-run wine, this parcel cuvée benefits from an aging of 18 to 20 months in oak barrels (including on average 30% new barrels). The clarification is natural.

Blend

Syrah (100%).
