The 2016 Hermitage Bessards is much more structured and mineral-laced which, if youâve ever seen this awesome hillside of broken granite, makes perfect sense. Liquid rocks, graphite, cracked pepper, new saddle leather, and vibrant crĂšme de cassis notes all flow to a powerful, tannic Hermitage thatâs for those with patience and cold cellars.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Produces some of the world's most powerful and long-lived Syrah from a single granite hill, yielding dense, structured reds and rich whites.
