93 Robert Parker
The 1993 Le Pavilion is the Hermitage of the Vintage. More austere than when I tasted it prior to bottling, it is one of the few 1993s with a sweet inner core of fruit, as well as a dense ruby/purple color, outstanding concentration and extract, and huge tannin in the finish. It is a harder style of Le Pavilion than the 1992, but it should turn out to be a 40- to 50-year wine.
Producer
Maison M. Chapoutier
Maison M. Chapoutier owns a significant vineyard holding on the famed Hermitage hill, but this winery also acts as one of the most important négociants in the northern Rhône Valley. The innovative and determined Michel Chapoutier has run his family’s domaine since 1990. In addition to introducing biodynamic viticultural practices in his vineyards, he has taken the property’s production number to another level, multiplying it tenfold. Michel has built quite a reputation for this estate - his pioneering spirit even led to the use of braille on his labels, as well as being the first to fully market single-vineyard bottling of Hermitage - setting Maison M. Chapoutier at the forefront. Amongst the wide-spanning collection of Rhône labels, the top wines are undoubtedly well-crafted benchmarks of their appellations. Hermitage now comes in a several guises, in both red and white, the wines are gracefully opulent. The top Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage wines are labeled with the traditional spelling, Ermitage. Each of the Ermitage wines, Ermite, le Pavillon, and le Méal are brilliant reds - powerful and plush.
