Because of low acidity and a plump, plush texture, this wine will be approachable at an early age.

The 2020 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Meal is a testament to the grandeur of the Hermitage appellation. This wine, with its deep garnet red hue and youthful purple highlights, exudes aromas of ripe fruits and a smoky character. On the palate, it reveals powerful tannins and a velvety texture, with flavors reminiscent of blackberry jam. Crafted from 100% Syrah grapes from the esteemed Méal hillside, known for its high terraces of shingles and clay, this wine is matured in new or one-year-old casks for 14 to 18 months, ensuring a natural clarification. With a potential to age gracefully for decades, this bold and structured red is a true reflection of organic and biodynamic winemaking at its finest.
