The wine
Deschants is definitely one of the brightest stars in the extensive Chapoutier range, offering consumers a spicy red that’s immediately attractive, but which also has the ability to become even better over several years, as shown by its fine grained tannins. It’s a wine which remains true to its roots, based mainly in granite, revealing itself to be firm, reserved and even a little austere.
What does this wine taste like?
It appears an intense shade of garnet-red and offers a very floral (violet) nose, which also releases whiffs of liquorice and spices. Cherries, black olives and aromas of crushed stone blend in with blackberry and blueberry jam and touches of ground pepper. As regards the palate, it’s supple on entry, medium-bodied, with smooth ripe tannins and a predominance of red fruits and fragrant herbs. Its finish is long and spicy.

Chapoutier is particularly well-known for its remarkable Hermitage wines; in this appellation, the Chapoutier maison owns its largest tract of wine-producing land, comprising 34 of the 115 hectares held...
