AOC Hermitage

Presse / Kritik
Revue du Vin de France: 18,5 / 20 Punkte
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4,5 / 6 Sterne
"Brilliant robe, a red and purple that are full of life and vigour. The nose is well geared up, coated, abundant, has airs of blackberry, brambly fruit, an elegant theme within its coulis style depth. The palate has a blackberry, crisp, tingling debut, develops sustained more red, mulberry fruit and close-fit tannins, with a fine grain content. There is a good, loose charge of fruit, toothsome and dentelle it is. It ends on the up, is well structured. There’s a lot here, and the balance is very good. From 2020. 2035-37"
Bettane & Dessauve: 4*/5 (Très Haute Qualité)
"Classé dans ce guide parmi "les producteurs du Rhône nord de l'année". A leur meilleur les hermitages du domaine sont l'expression la plus racée et la plus mordante des vins du coteau, mais pas forcément les plus immédiatement harmonieux. La vendange entière pour une partie de la récolte explique la chose pour les rouges et en blanc la petite parcelle de Rocoules est certainement le lieu-dit qui donne à la marsanne sa plus grande dimension. Le millésime 2015 est sûrement l'un des plus brillants de toute la carrière de Marc Sorrel, avec un Gréal qui rejoindra peut être dans la légende les 1961 pour le potentiel de garde."

Das Weingut
Zitat J. Livingstone-Learmonth: "One of the few small domaines with vineyards in plum, central sites at Hermitage. Generally traditional outlook. Attempts have been made since the late 1990s to work the vineyards more naturally. Winemaking has become more consistent. The red Hermitage Le Gréal can be very good indeed, a true child of the hill, and is indeed mighty in vintages such as 2010, 2015 and 2017. The Hermitage Les Rocoules white is an STGT (Soil to Glass Transfer)  wine. The white Crozes-Hermitage is a cracker, made from 1945 vines, and the epitomy of traditional white Rhône from the happy marriage of Marsanne and Roussanne. This, too is STGT, and has been excellent in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016."
