CHAPOUTIER and its eponymous winery grew steadily, producing wine from esteemed vineyard sites such as Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. However, 1990 was a watershed moment for the winery, with the arrival of Michel Chapoutier. Under his leadership, the maverick winemaker established bold initiatives. For example, the introduction of Single Vineyard Selection that express the unique terroir of a site, or wine labels embossed in braille for the visually impaired. In each instance, Michel’s decisions were, and continue to be, driven by a deep respect for the soil, climate, and his fellow human beings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this Wine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested to the limit of over-maturity.

From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. The temperature of fermentation does not exceed 32°C. Maceration lasts between 4 and 5 weeks, to obtain a polymerization of tannins.

Full-bodied, concentrated, and rich on the palate, it has plenty of ripe tannins and a blockbuster finish. Coming all from the Les Bessards lieu-dit located on the western side of Hermitage, this beauty was 85% destemmed and spent 18 months in a mix of demi-muids and puncheons. It has riveting purity, depth, and length, and certainly tops out my scale. Hide bottles for 7-8 years and enjoy through 2062.

Full-bodied with ripe, sinewy tannins. The spicy influence on this warm, dry vintage brings vivacity, intensity and character to a concentrated core of dark berries. This shows solid frame and structure and a lingering, peppery finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink from 2029.\" (Apr 2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e96 Points - Decanter Magazine: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \"Plum and damson compote, star anise and soy on the nose. This is fresh and lithe, with marked acidity and a great explosion of flavour; bright as a meteor. Not as long as some vintages on the finish, but certainly makes an impression. The pH is at 3.6 naturally through concentration, and nearly 14% alcohol. Remarkably athletic in acid and tannin for a 2022. From lieu-dit Les Bessards.” – Matt Walls (Sep 2023)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e96 Points - Vinous Media: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The pristine 2022 Ermitage Le Pavillon stands tall next to both the 2021 and 2023 vintages. Vividly displaying ripe black fruit, licorice, pencil shaving, crushed violet notes and a flicker of mocha, the full-bodied and concentrated 2022 shows even more richness on the palate than the Le Méal from the same vintage. Round and generous, this is a Le Pavillon for the hedonists, gracefully winding down with a long and savory finale.\" – Nicolas Greinacher (Jan 2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Wine Spectator:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Seriously concentrated and densely packed, with wave after wave of açaí, plum and peppercorn threaded with savory tones of forest floor, tobacco, singed lard and apple wood smoke. Tannins move in, keeping an expert hold, while an energetic jolt of acidity brings vibrancy to the supple broadness. This will truly shine after a few more years in the cellar.
