Product Description

Laurent Tardieu’s Hermitage Rouge 2022 is a profound and powerful Syrah from the historic slopes of the Hermitage hill—one of France’s most iconic wine regions. Sourced from ancient vines rooted in granite and limestone soils, this wine showcases remarkable intensity, structure, and depth, with the elegance and aging potential expected from this great terroir.

• Traditional fermentation with native yeasts and extended maceration

• Aged 16–18 months in French oak barrels, including a portion of new oak

• Bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve character and longevity

• Palate: Full-bodied and deeply structured with dense fruit, firm tannins, and mineral tension

• Finish: Long and layered with savory spice, dark chocolate, iron, and earthy complexity

Serving Suggestions

Serve at 16–18 °C:
