Ermitage Le Meal Rouge, Maison M. Chapoutier 2022

Tasting Notes

From a lieu-dit that may have struggled slightly in the vintage, the 2022 Ermitage Le Méal has a pretty, perfumed, medium to full-bodied style as well as perfumed aromatics of black raspberries, roasted herbs, graphite, and floral notes. It doesn't have the density of a top vintage here, but it’s clearly a gorgeous wine and has finely polished tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. If it puts on weight over the coming year, the barrel score will seem low.

94/96
