Le Pavillon 2019

M. Chapoutier

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 100.0

The renowned producer has impressively, over a quarter of a century, amassed the greatest number of 100/100 Parker points in the world, and there can hardly be more perfect site-specific expression of the noble Syrah grape than these two crus in Chapoutier’s Sélections Parcellaires. Just 600 cases are produced from only four hectares on the hill of Hermitage. The miniscule Le Pavillon plot comprising a subsection of the granitic ‘Les Bessards’ vineyard which is planted to 65 year-old Syrah vines. The wine is aged for 18-20 months in 50% new French oak.

This has the silky, flowing, thoroughbred style of Le Pavillon - incredible tannic finesse, but so big and shot through with ripe tannin. The alcohol does peep through a little, its just perceptible, but the concentration and tannic load are enough to bring balance. Will be a velvety opulent treat when its ready. But for now, the tannic frame is immense. A statuesque vintage of Le Pavillon.

Massively concentrated and tannic, Chapoutiers 2019 Ermitage le Pavillon looks as if it will take a few more years to come around than the other selections parcellaires. The initial scents of crushed stone and cassis are intriguing, but this full-bodied wine comes across almost cold and reserved yet immensely promising. On this occasion, Michel Chapoutier pronounced it "a tea of granite," which describes it fairly well, although hints of its future charms can be seen on the long, licorice-tinged and mouthwatering finish.
