Château l'Hermitage Saint-Émilion
Saint-Emilion 2005

This product is not currently available.

This is a bargain investment wine for newbie collectors into Bordeaux. After many landmark years throughout history, the 2005 vintage is widely considered to be a pinnacle. This gorgeous blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc is round and rich on the tongue, with well-tamed tannins that will only mellow as they mature. Drink a bottle now, and store the rest of a case in your cellar (or, for urban dwellers, your coolest closet) for at least a decade.

Varietals: 65% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc
Nose: Black fruits, spice and herbs
Palate: Blackberry, black cherry and wild herbs
Alcohol:13.5%
Appellation: Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

Château l'Hermitage Saint-Émilion

Chateau L’Hermitage is a small 9-acre site in St. Émilion. Sandwiched between some heavy-hitters in the region, such as Angelus, this David to the region’s Goliath produces powerful wines for its deceptively diminutive size. As a bonus, they’re available at a fraction of the price of the big boys.

Once your order is processed, your wine will be shipped ground.

 

Cocoa powder may seem unusual  to pair with this stunning Bordeaux, but when used as a seasoning (rather than a sweet), cocoa lends a a deep, round, almost nutty flavor to beef, pork or chicken.  Combined with chili pepper, peppercorns, and crushed garlic, cocoa deepens an otherwise simple spice rub. Think Mexican mole without the work.
