Parker über:
Grain Ermitage président troillet
-- Parker: Aged in 228- and 500-liter barrels for 12 months, the 2023 Grain Ermitage is beautifully clear, fresh and savory on the complex but also refined and elegant nose that indicates spectacular depth and tension. The exposition on the palate is very elegant, refined and textural before the wine reveals its finesse, saline soul and tannic grip that characterizes the long and very expressive finish. This is a precise, fresh and complex yet not overly rich or powerful Marsanne that instead fascinates with its saline finesse and elegant, well-balanced texture. The tannins need some aeration to oxidize and become softer, so if you want to enjoy this wine in its youth, a carafe is highly recommended and, as always, a certain amount of time. The best solution, however, is to enjoy the 2023 Ermitage in a big Bordeaux crystal glass. The finish is long, fresh and aromatic and characterized by fine tannins that harmonize with the delicate, saline acidity. 13.9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Fully, March 2025.
