Hermitage is one of the most famous appellations of the Côtes du Rhône. The steep hillside of the vineyard overlooks the Rhone and benefits from maximum sunshine throughout the year. The maintenance of the terraces requires an enormous amount of work to renovate the low walls which are subject to gullying and landslides.
In other words, everything here is done manually: machines cannot climb the slopes.
The red wines are made from Syrah, with the possible addition of Roussanne and Marsanne in small quantities. They are recognizable at first glance by their dark color typical of the Côtes du Rhône. Of great finesse, these red wines are powerful and opulent. A little wild in their youth, they gain in roundness and finesse after a few years in the cellar.
