Critic Scores
The biggest production cuvee, the 2005 Ermitage Le Pavillon (1,067 cases in this vintage) has a dense purple color, the classic acacia flower, graphitebased, smoky creme de cassis nose with a tremendous intensity and a fullbodied power and richness that is awesome. These are monumental wines, and when you think that this wine, much like most of its siblings, is made from yields of 12 to 18 hectoliters per hectare, the explanation for its concentration and extraordinary expression of terroir is obvious.
