Marc Sorrel

Wines from the Marc Sorrel estate: buy at the best price

The highly renowned Marc Sorrel estate owes its creation in 1928 to Marc's grandfather, following the purchase of 2 vineyard plots on the hill of Hermitage in the Rhône: Les Rocoules (a white wine) and Le Méal. At the time, it was said that working such plots cost more than they yielded. Marc Sorrel then took over the management of the estate in 1982, considerably raising its reputation thanks to several opportunities to acquire other plots in the finest locations on the Hermitage hill: les Greffieux and Les Bessards; and it is now his son Guillaume who is in charge of the winemaking and the future of the Marc Sorrel estate.

The TOP winemakers of Rhône

Various criteria contribute to the fame of Hermitage wines, such as the unique complexity of the soils of this mythical hill's terroir, its very restricted appellation area, and its full south-facing exposure allowing maximum sunshine. At Marc Sorrel, Les Rocoules benefits from vines of 60 years and older, on limestone soils with iron oxides (soils suited to white grape varieties). The 1-hectare plot of Le Méal, planted in 1945, is composed of large pebbles, on brown calcareous and sandy-gravelly soils at the foot of the slope — warm soils ideal for reds. Below Le Méal lie Les Greffieux, on sandy limestone, with more earth and younger vines. Finally, below Les Greffieux, part of the Clos des Plantiers, with richer clay-limestone soils, adds up to 2.5 hectares of magnificent terroirs on this exceptional hill. Adding 1.5 hectares of vineyard on Crozes-Hermitage, the total reaches 4 hectares for the Marc Sorrel estate. Four Hermitage cuvées are produced: 2 classic ones in Rhône white and Rhône red, and 2 prestige cuvées from the oldest vines (80 years old, worked by horse) — the red Hermitage Gréal, a blend of the lieu-dits Le Méal and Les Greffieux, and the white Hermitage Les Rocoules. The Hermitages from the Sorrel estate have been vinified as whole-cluster since 2012, and generally require ten years to fully open up. Le Méal is the archetype of very ripe Syrah, and whole-cluster vinification brings brilliance and precision to the aromas, especially in warm vintages (such as 2015, for example). The Crozes-Hermitage white from the Marc Sorrel estate is certainly one of the very finest in the AOC, with exceptional body and elegance. In red wine, the Crozes-Hermitage is very complete and full-bodied; it makes an excellent introduction to the great wines of the estate (at a lower cost), as the quality and rarity of Hermitage bottles (depending on the vintage, between 7,000 and 9,000 bottles produced across all 4 cuvées) contribute to creating demand far exceeding the supply from the Marc Sorrel estate.
