Dark fruit and crushed violets leap from the glass with remarkable intensity. Built like a fortress yet graceful, showing layers of cherry liqueur, cedar and exotic spice. The granite soils of Greffieux and Bessards deliver piercing minerality that energizes the finish. Formidable tannins demand patience. Drink 2030-2035.

Bernard Faurie is among the most quietly serious producers on the Hermitage hill, farming small parcels across the appellation's most storied lieux-dits and bottling them with minimal intervention and no concession to fashion.
