Hermitage, a Rhone Valley Cru, spans 134 hectares of vines across Tain-l’Hermitage, CrozesHermitage, and Larnage in the Drome. The Mediterranean climate, shielded from northerly winds, features south-facing slopes with good sun exposure.

Soil: Our Hermitage is coming from the hilltop on a terroir of mainly weathered granite benefiting from a great sun exposure.

Vinification and ageing:
Grapes are hand-picked in small cases of 20 kg. 100% Whole bunch fermentation. Whole bunch vatting for 5 to 7 days until a semi-carbonic fermentation begins to start the foot stomping

Ageing for at least 18 months in 228L to 600L oak barrels of 1 to 3 years old and sometimes new oak.
