This is the exquisite zenith of Ermitage whites from Chapoutier. It’s a parcel situated right at the top of the hill, just around the chapel, where the vines struggle in the poor, granitic soils, resulting in this quite astonishing wine. It shows flamboyant intensity on the nose: there's mango, citrus peel and a lick of salinity. It’s precise and hugely energetic, with focused acidity and lots of salty minerality on the finish.

Surprisingly full-bodied for L'Ermite, richer in body than a classic vintage. This is precise and fine, with notes of lemon verbena and struck flint. Reductive now, so give it time, but there's great drive and focus. Unusually high acidity (3.2-3.3 pH) which is rare for Marsanne. From east-facing vineyards situated around the chapel, which are the only white vineyards on the granitic part of Hermitage, other than Dard & Ribo's plots.
