"L'Hermitage Monier De La Sizeranne 2021 is an exceptional vintage that really deserves to be discovered. Mainly de-stemmed (10% stalks) and aged in 20% new oak, it has a magnificent nose of ripe redcurrants, black raspberries, smoked game and violets, with some classic peppery, meaty notes that appear on aeration. Medium-bodied and balanced, with good ripeness and depth on the palate, this gorgeous wine will drink well over the next 15-20 years." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2026 guide) 95/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the domain :
Today, Michel Chapoutier is ably supported by his children Mathilde and Maxime, to run the most important wine house in the Northern Rhône, and a long-standing specialist in Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage. Chapoutier is not only a major wine merchant, but also a producer of top-flight domaine cuvées, as the estate's vines have long been cultivated biodynamically. Sélections parcellaires, the top-of-the-range wines, perfectly reflect Chapoutier's philosophy: parcel-based, single-varietal and produced every year, they are above all a reflection of the terroir, in all its good aspects and sometimes its excesses.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
This venerable (19th c.) and unmissable house, brought into international orbit by Michel Chapoutier in the 1990s, offers a wide range from its own vineyards (345 ha, biodynamic) or purchased grapes, in most of the Rhône Valley's leading appellations, as well as in Roussillon and Alsace. His children, Mathilde and Maxime, have recently joined the family adventure.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Under the Maison M. Chapoutier address, we bring together wines from the trading activities of this two-hundred-year-old institution in Tain-l'Hermitage. Michel Chapoutier, now accompanied by his daughter Mathilde, offers a wide range of Rhône appellations, with a production volume approaching one million bottles. But the Chapoutier name is also present in other regions (Champagne, Alsace, Languedoc and Australia), a testament to the family's dynamism. While some cuvées are convincing, others are far more unspectacular. This heterogeneity has led us to withdraw the star from the house this year.

About the wine:
Smoky, sweet red fruits, plums and black fruits in the background. Subtle smokiness on the palate, tight, taut, fine tannins, freshness and liveliness. Lots of energy with a savory note in the background. An earthy note on the ripe, sweet finish. A style that is still quite dense and rich.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100
About the wine:
A well-composed, textured and lively Hermitage. The nose reveals notes of wild berries, dried herbs, crushed stones, bark and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Broad but concentrated, with a velvety core of wild berries and spices. Juicy, with a fresh, precise finish. Made from Demeter-certified biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.

Mainly de-stemmed (10% stalks) and aged in 20% new oak, it presents a magnificent nose of ripe redcurrants, black raspberries, smoked game and violets, with some classic peppery, fleshy notes that appear on aeration. Medium-bodied and balanced, with good ripeness and depth on the palate, this magnificent wine should be enjoyed over the next 15 to 20 years.
