The wines of the Northern Rhone are very different from the South as syrah is the star of the show here.  The wines of Cote Rotie and Hermitage are rare in that these regions are fairly small and the top wines are made in minute quantities.  We get only 3 bottles of August Clape Coronas a year and we are drinking the oldest bottle we have tonight, set aside for four years now, it may not be completely ready, but I can’t resist!  We set aside at least one bottle of our 3 bottle allocation a year for future scientific research from producers like August Clape.

The granite hills of Hermitage rise above the Rhone at Tain l'Hermitage where the river bends sharply to the east before resuming a southward flow. This gives the vineyards a direct southern exposure. Vines have been grown here since Roman times, and Pliney the elder wrote favorably about the wines of the region. The locals claim that vines were first planted here by Phocaean Greeks around 500 BC. Although the evidence is not conclusive, Greek coins and amphorae dating back to 500 BC have been found in the area.
The 2017 Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc, 2018 Hermitage Rouge and the 1990 Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle alone are worth the price of admission, but we have 7 other top-level wines from the Northern Rhone on the table tonight going back 50 years to the 1974 vintage!

Chef Toni Lampasone will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines.  The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $350 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
