Awards: Sélection Guide Hachette, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
L'Hermitage Roc de Monge is made from Syrah vines grown on steep, almost vertiginous granite slopes. A highly concentrated, single-varietal blend that develops powerful aromas. This wine offers a highly developed bouquet with notes of humus and undergrowth, and floral aromas of violet. A powerful yet harmonious wine to discover!
