ROBERT PARKER ” The 1998 Ermitage Le Pavillon flirts with perfection … again. Revealing a striking bouquet of violets, blackberries, smoke, licorice, and minerals, it is luxuriously rich, full-bodied, and layered on the palate. It is a wine with a finish that lasts beyond a minute. Remarkably, yields were a mere 10 hectoliters per hectare. There is plenty of tannin in the finish, but it is ripe and well-integrated. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050. “

Exceptional Collector’s Gem
From the esteemed vineyards of Ermitage, the Le Pavillon M. Chapoutier 1998 1.5L is an exceptional collector’s gem representing the rich heritage of the Northern Rhône. Harvested in 1998, this limited magnum edition epitomizes nearly three decades of mature elegance and complexity, presenting an exclusive opportunity for luxury connoisseurs and investment-grade collectors alike. As one of the rarest releases from M. Chapoutier, its storied provenance elevates its status beyond mere vintage to a prized artifact of oenological heritage.
Biodynamic Excellence
Crafted using biodynamic principles, this 1998 Ermitage Le Pavillon showcases meticulous vineyard selection and sustainable cultivation that intensify grape quality. The single-varietal Syrah grapes, hand-harvested and aged for over 20 years in French oak barrels, imbue the wine with remarkable depth and longevity.
Its 1.5L magnum format not only enhances the aging process but also increases collectibility, appealing to aficionados who favor both rarity and performance in their cellar. This bottle transforms a centuries-old tradition into a tangible asset for discerning collectors.
180-Year Legacy
Maison M. Chapoutier, renowned for its 180-year-old legacy of innovative winemaking in Hermitage, lends unparalleled prestige to this release. Limited production in 1998 ensures scarcity, with likely fewer than 500 magnums released globally, making it a coveted prize for investors and connoisseurs seeking appreciable market value increments.
Consistently top-rated by critics and commanding increasing auction prices, this bottling embodies a rare fusion of heritage and liquidity in the luxury wine market.
Exquisite Tasting Experience
The 1998 Ermitage Le Pavillon M. Chapoutier unfolds with concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry, graphite, and smoked spices, leading to a palate bursting with velvety black cherry, leather, and subtle hints of truffle. The finish is long and lingering, revealing layers of minerality and tobacco that evolve beautifully with time.
Best served at 16-18°C, decanting is recommended to fully unlock its complexity. Ideal when paired with gourmet lamb, game meats, or aged cheeses, this magnum promises an exquisite tasting experience for exclusive gatherings or elevated cellar showcases.
