Bernard Faurie crafts Hermitage from just 1.7 hectares across three of the appellation's most prized lieux-dits. This cuvée blends fruit from Les Bessards and Le Méal, two steep hillside vineyards that define Hermitage's character.

Faurie represents the artisanal side of this legendary Northern Rhône appellation. His small production focuses entirely on expressing these ancient terroirs through traditional winemaking. The 2016 vintage showcases the power and elegance that make Hermitage one of France's most revered reds.

"Opaque ruby. Intense black currant, potpourri, olive and woodsmoke scents are sharpened by a minerally topnote. Displays outstanding clarity and dark fruit thrust on the palate, offering sweet black and blue fruit, candied violet and spicecake flavors and a touch of bitter chocolate. The expansive, strikingly long finish features velvety tannins and resonating floral and mineral notes." -Josh Raynolds
