M. CHAPOUTIER Ermitage "De l'Oree" 2008

Wine Region: Rhone-Valley - France

Grape: Marsanne

Tasting notes: The nose is very intense, hot shingles, toffee, very ripe, fruity lemon with floral overtones of acacia and hawthorn.
The palate has a well-rounded start, full-bodied, very complex with overtones of ripe fruits, spices and roasting. Very long in the mouth, with a fresh final note.
