Lot #1829. M. Chapoutier Hermitage Le Pavillon 1991

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: France, Rhône, Hermitage.
Score: 100 RP.
"This is a Le Pavilion of mythical proportions. Produced from extremely old vines, some dating from the mid-nineteenth century, with yields averaging under 15 hectoliters per hectare, this is the richest, most concentrated and profound wine made in Hermitage. The 1991 Ermitage Le Pavilion follows the pattern of the 1989 and 1990-it is another perfect wine. The saturated black/purple color is followed by a compelling bouquet of spices, roasted meats, and black and red fruits. Enormously concentrated yet with brilliant focus and delineation to its awesomely endowed personality, this extraordinary wine should age effortlessly for three plus decades. Very powerful and full, yet displaying silky tannin, this is a seamless beauty!" Rhone Book, Jan 1997
Notes: 2.5cm, very lightly scuffed capsule, very lightly scuffed and lightly damp stained label.
