    Possibly the finest vintage to date (it’s neck and neck with the 2009), the 1999 Hermitage Cuvee Emilie is still youthful and lively, with a deep ruby/purple-tinged color, notes of black raspberries, bouquet garni, crushed rocks, leather and chocolate, perfectly integrated tannin and an utterly seamless texture. Coming mostly from the Grandes Vignes and Rocoules vineyards on Hermitage Hill and brought up all in new barrels, it’s a gorgeous wine that’s drinking nicely today, yet has two decades of life to go.

Domaine des Remizieres, France
Domaine des Remizières is a family winery since three generations. A vineyard at the origin of approximately 4 hectares, a part of the production was delivered to the cooperative cellar. From 1973, the vinification is completely made on the domaine. At the beginning, Alphonse managed the estate. Then Philippe, his son, settled down in 1977 and he decided to market all the production in bottles. Increases and modernization were made then little by little. In 2005, Emilie, awarded in oenology, joined with her father. In 2009, Christophe, Emilie's brother, joins the domain with a BTS viticulture/oenology. It is a work in family with a will and well determined tasks. Currently, the domaine can propose Crozes Hermitage (Red and White), Hermitage (Red and White) and Saint Joseph (only red), and a little Vin de Pays. The domaine extends over several villages : Mercurol, Crozes-Hermitage, Tain l’Hermitage, Larnage, La Roche de Glun and Saint Jean de Muzols and Vion for Saint Joseph.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

One of the smallest and most important Syrah regions of northern Rhone, Hermitage is practically one single south-facing slope of crushed granite, thinly covered with varied, yet well-charted soil types. Many climats (well identified parcels) exist within Hermitage and while some smaller producers make single climat Syrahs, some larger ones blend to make one balanced expression of the appellation.

Though the AC regulations allow the addition of up to 15% white grapes to a red Hermitage, in practice it is usually made from Syrah alone. Winemaking is pretty traditional—or you might say historic—with hot fermentations and aging in older barrels of various sizes. The best wines, characterized by deep, dense and sexy flavors of black fruit, cocoa, licorice and tobacco, have massive textures and a solid 10-20 years aging potential.

The region of Hermitage is totally enclosed; the only place it could go really is to literally fall down its own hill into the city of Tain or the Rhone River. Soil erosion is a problem and terraces exist alongside the hill in order to keep the earth in place. Crozes-Hermitage encloses the region entirely to its north and south.

While Hermitage seems synonymous with some of the best Syrah on the planet, actually about one third of the wine produced here comes from white grapes. The full, lush and robust Marsanne or the less common, but almost more charming, Roussanne create wonderful whites in which the best have great potential for aging, like the reds.
