Taste
The M. Chapoutier Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne 2013, 2014, 2015 vertical offers a rich tapestry of Syrah expression. Each vintage presents a deep garnet hue, with aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant and hints of liquorice. The palate is round and elegant, combining concentrated dark fruit with gentle, integrated tannins and layers of peppery spice. Youthful years such as 2015 are fuller and more opulent, while 2013 showcases tight structure and a touch of sous-bois and game, finishing with length and balance. All three highlight classic Hermitage power delivered with polish and finesse.

What is the difference between Hermitage and Ermitage? 
Hermitage and Ermitage both refer to the famous appellation in the northern Rhône, celebrated for its exceptional Syrah-based reds and rich whites. The distinction lies in tradition and focus: “Hermitage” is the widely used name, often appearing on blends from several parcels across the hill, whereas “Ermitage” is the original French spelling now reserved by leading producers like M. Chapoutier for single-vineyard, plot-specific wines. Although both originate from the same revered hillside, the use of “Ermitage” indicates a wine of unique origin and pure terroir expression, while “Hermitage” denotes the broader, blended heritage of this legendary region.
