Often considered as one of the most exceptional wines in the world, red Hermitage wines are produced in the northern Rhône with Syrah as the principal grape variety. Especially praised for their longevity, these powerful, full-bodied, complex, and great-quality wines can also be opulent in their youth, displaying bright aromas of red fruit, as well as spicy and floral nuances.
However, best Hermitage reds are long-lived and can be aged for decades, becoming more robust and harmonious with beautiful roundness and a long finish, while the complex aromatics display licorice, minerals, herbs, tobacco, and spices. These master-class wines can match a variety of dishes, and they naturally pair with game and beef, as well as truffles, terrines, and hearty stews.
