The peak of blending, the plots going into the Hermitage rouge are the finest of the region - Bessards, Beaumes, Hermite, Péléat, and Méal. Mostly de-stemmed, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and tonneaux before being transferred to 228L barriques, predominantly neutral, and aged for around 30 months.

Good full dark red. Roasted aromas of currants, animal fur, pepper and smoke. Silky on entry, then closed in the middle palate, with some edgy acidity giving it a somewhat disjointed quality. In a rather roasted southern style; its slight green aspect and excess acidity in conjunction with its suggestions of surmaturité indicate that the fruit ripened too quickly. Not fun to drink today—will it retain enough freshness when it finally opens? This wine showed far better in the four or five years after the vintage.
