"Lastly, from the very dome of the granite hill of Ermitage is the 2005 Ermitage l’Ermite. An extraordinarily powerful wine that probably needs 10-15 years in the bottle (last year I thought 20 was probably conservative), this is a 100-year wine and probably best appreciated by our descendants rather than anyone currently over the age of 30. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of crushed rock, charcoal, roasted meats, and enormous quantities of blue and black fruits, this wine is almost painfully rich and thick, with mouthsearing levels of tannin and zesty acidity. Monumental!"

The crown jewel of the Rhône has landed. And it’s the only 2005 L’Ermite 6-pack OWC available in the U.S.!

From the granite-capped summit of Hermitage Hill, Chapoutier’s oldest Syrah vines (80+ years) give birth to the most ageworthy of his single-vineyard icons. In 2005, a vintage hailed across the globe, L’Ermite reached mythic status.

Critical Acclaim:

99+ Points | Robert Parker: “100-year wine… Monumental!”

98 Points | Wine Spectator: “Supersleek, racy… should age beautifully.”

WineSearcher.com: “Legendary vintage”

Decanter: “Benchmark vintage for Syrah”

L’Ermite is Chapoutier at full throttle - power and poise in equal measure. Expect bright, lifted aromas of peppery red fruit, violet, and crushed stone. Silky on the palate, yet firmly structured, with a finish that seems to echo for minutes. Tertiary complexity is just starting to emerge, but the core remains youthful, vibrant, and built for decades.
