La Grace de l'Hermitage 2007
Hermitage AOC
Loading...
The wines of Hermitage are much in demand and command steep prices so we were delighted when a top producer, in need of ready cash, sold us a small portion of their prized 2007 cuvée. Our top winemaker did the rest – finishing the wine in finest oak.

The Wine
The most famous of the northern Rhône appellations, Hermitage produces tiny quantities of serious, long-lived reds made purely from Syrah. The whole region covers just 126 hectares (about the size of a large Bordeaux estate). We secured a great deal on a few barrels from a top cellar and transferred them to Le Chai au Quai. The wine had already spent 10 months in oak but maestro winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua expertly finished it for 4 months in top of the range French barrels. As part of the agreement we changed the name of the wine to protect the estate’s reputation – but open a bottle with friends who appreciate great wine and you can be in no doubt of its true pedigree. The perfect partner for venison stew or confit de canard.
"A top of the range Hermitage from an excellent vintage, La Grace simply exudes charm"
