2007 Hermitage Farconnet Rouge, J.L. Chave Selection
This Hermitage is made from the fruit of mature vines from excellent vineyards sites such as Méal, Les Bessards and Dionnères. Powerful in structure in this acclaimed vintage, but with a restrained nature that provides an elegant touch. Red and black fruit is to the fore, but there is a gently earthy complexity and appealing, supple tannins. Attractive Hermitage that will reward medium-term cellarage.
