Description

This vintage is made entirely from Syrah and has been aged for 16 months in 70% new French oak barrels.

What sets this wine apart is its impressive profile. It boasts classic minerality reminiscent of powdered rocks, alongside generous notes of crème de cassis and black raspberry fruit, smoked meats, spices, and hints of dried flowers. It is a complex and perfumed wine that is full-bodied, seamless and offers fabulous density. The tannin structure is ultra-fine, and the wine is impeccably balanced overall.

Moreover, the Les Bessards Hermitage is presented in a magnum bottle size of 1.5L, which is equivalent to two standard bottles of wine. This larger format offers several benefits, including slower aging due to the reduced oxygen-to-wine ratio, leading to a more refined and mature taste over time. The magnum size is also perfect for special occasions and gatherings, as it can serve a larger number of people, and its appearance adds an element of grandeur to any event.
