The Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto 2006, from the granitic terroirs of Hermitage, is a rare Syrah from old vines. After 42 months in barrels, it seduces with its notes of dark fruits, leather and spices, a broad palate and silky tannins. Ideal with braised rib of beef or game.
Since 1946, the Guigal family has embodied the excellence of Rhône wines, rooted in Ampuis with an uncompromising commitment to its exceptional terroirs.
- Terroir: The granitic and schistous hillsides of Hermitage, bathed by the northern climate of the Rhône, sculpt Syrahs of rare minerality and depth.
- Vinification: Extended aging in oak barrels, respect for old vines and parcel-by-parcel blending for a pure and structured expression of the terroir.
Tasting notes for the wine E. Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto 2006
In the glass – A dense garnet robe, with still-vivid highlights, betraying generous substance and a silky texture.
On the nose – First aromas of wild blackberry and blackcurrant, then deeper notes of aged leather, graphite and liquorice, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of black pepper.
On the palate – A broad and fleshy attack, carried by a precise acidity and velvety tannins, while a chalky minerality extends into a long and elegant finish.
Serve at 16°C in a Burgundy-style red wine glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 2006
A northern vintage, marked by optimal grape ripeness and a remarkable tannic structure, promising harmonious evolution.
- Aging potential: 25 to 30 years, to be kept under ideal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity).
