Date: 7pm, Thursday 14th May 2009
Price: £80.00
Few geographic landmarks mean as much to the wine aficionado as the Rhône Valley’s hill of Hermitage. Some of the best winemakers in the world specialise in making red and white wines from this wonderful terroir and what better way to get to know them than a comparative tasting of some of the best?
In order to crown someone ‘King of the Hill’ we will compare three top producers from three vintages - Chave, Chapoutier and Jaboulet. In addition to these we will take a look at a Hermitage Blanc and finish the night with a mature example from another great producer, Marc Sorrel.
We will be tasting:
1995 Hermitage Blanc ‘Chevalier de Sterimberg’; Jaboulet
2004, 1999 & 1996 Hermitage; J L Chave
2004, 1999 & 1996 Hermitage ‘La Chapelle’; Jaboulet
2004, 1999 & 1996 Ermitage ‘Le Pavillon’; Chapoutier
1990 Hermitage ‘Le Greal’; Marc Sorrel
