Hermitage 1989 - Domaine L. de Vallouit

About the domain:

Stock directly from the estate! In excellent condition of conservation and aging.

The L. de Vallouit estate was a magnificent family estate in the northern Rhône valley. One of the few to own vines in all the appellations of the northern Rhône, with the exception of Château Grillet of course. In 2001, the estate's vines were taken over by Guigal, who incorporated them into some of his most prestigious vintages.

About the vintage:

The Hermitage appellation was created in 1937, the Syrah vines, from which the red wines come, benefit from a unique, essentially granitic terroir. The diversity of these soils has led to the creation of famous places such as Le Méal or Les Greffieux.

About the 1989 vintage at Hermitage:

A magnificent vintage in every way that benefited from a perfect September. The 1989 Hermitages are very concentrated and balanced. They have significant aging potential.
