“Leading the three vintage white wines from Hermitage, the remarkable 2013 Ermitage Cuvée de l’Orée boasts a breathtaking bouquet that encompasses just about everything one might imagine when thinking of white Hermitage. White peach, white flowers, marzipan, quince, and damp rock are just a few of the nuances present. On the palate, the wine is very powerful, with full-bodied richness, a flamboyant and expansive texture, as well asfascinating concentration and purity. Best enjoyed over the next two or three decades.” (Wine Advocate 2014)

Wine rated 17.5/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2024 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the wine:

A rich, still-fermenting nose with pear-like notes; full-bodied, harmonious, and very elegant in texture; the finish is still slightly restrained; great potential.

About the estate:

Michel Chapoutier is now ably supported by his children, Mathilde and Maxime, in running the largest wine house in the Northern Rhône, a long-standing specialist in Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage. Chapoutier is, on the one hand, a major wine merchant, but it also produces top-tier estate wines, with the estate’s vineyards having long been cultivated using biodynamic methods. The single-vineyard selections—the top of the line—perfectly reflect the owner’s philosophy: produced from specific plots, made from a single grape variety, and released annually, they are above all a reflection of the terroir, showcasing both its best qualities and, at times, its extremes.

About the estate:

This venerable (19th-century) and must-visit winery, propelled onto the international stage by Michel Chapoutier beginning in the 1990s, offers a wide range of wines sourced from its own vineyards (345 ha, cultivated biodynamically) or from purchased grapes, across most of the Rhône Valley’s flagship appellations, as well as in Roussillon and Alsace. His children, Mathilde and Maxime, have recently joined the family business.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Under the name Maison M. Chapoutier, we feature wines from the wine merchant division of this 200-year-old institution based in Tain-l'Hermitage. Michel Chapoutier, now joined by his daughter Mathilde, offers a very wide range of Rhône appellations here, with a production volume approaching one million bottles. But the Chapoutier name is also present in other regions (Champagne, Alsace, Languedoc, and even Australia), a testament to this family’s dynamism. While some vintages are impressive, others, on the other hand, are far more run-of-the-mill. This inconsistency has led us to remove the star from the estate this year.

About the wine:

A very deep coppery gold. An intoxicating nose of flowers and lilies. Stone fruits on the palate. Neutral and well-rounded, already quite mature. Very charming—it manages to combine body and freshness. A true triumph. Although a bit lighter than many vintages.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 95/100

About the wine:

Light golden yellow. An impressively complex bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, iodine, and white flowers, with a hint of smoky minerality emerging upon exposure to air. The palate is savory, penetrating, and concentrated, offering intense flavors of Meyer lemon, quince, ginger, and sweet butter that deepen and expand in the second half of the mouth. Powerful and deeply concentrated, yet graceful, it finishes with superb energy and lingering floral and mineral notes. The vines from which this wine is made are located in the Les Murets vineyard.
