Chapoutier, Ermitage de L'Oree 2016 Utopia Cider Finishing quite linear and precise

Finishing quite linear and precise with a rocky core of minerality

melon and a hint of exotic fruit

It captures cranberry and cherry with just an herbal touch

Slightly cloudy

drawn long into high-wire acidity and silk-spun tannins

Chapoutier, Ermitage de L'Oree 2016 Utopia Cider Finishing quite linear and preciseWhat an intense golden yellow in colour. The nose is super intense, hot stones minerality, caramel, very ripe citrus, fruity lemon with floral notes of acacia and hawthorn. The palate is oily, ample, very complex attack with notes of ripe fruit, spices, toast. Very nice length and with a fresh finish. This wine can be enjoyed now but has the structure to develop over 20 30 years.
