M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne Hermitage 1989, crafted by M. Chapoutier in France’s Northern Rhône, is a mature and refined Syrah from a classic vintage. The bouquet offers blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis, with notes of black pepper, smoked meat, and graphite. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity that highlight the fruit’s evolution. Layers of olive tapenade, leather, and minerality add complexity, while the finish is long and elegant, showcasing the wine’s graceful aging. Chapoutier’s biodynamic winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and finesse. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews, this Hermitage is a collector’s treasure that reflects the Northern Rhône’s terroir and offers a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a well-aged Syrah.
