M. Chapoutier: A Rare Museum Release
Ermitage, Côte-Rôtie and Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Arriving Early May, 2026
What makes this release so compelling is the sheer quality of the line-up.
At the top end, Le Pavillon and L’Ermite from Ermitage underline exactly why Chapoutier remains one of the Rhône’s most revered names. The 2009 Le Pavillon earned 100 points from Robert Parker, the 2011 Le Pavillon followed with 100 points from Jeb Dunnuck, and the 2006 L’Ermite Rouge stands comfortably beside them with two 98-point reviews highlighting its focus, minerality and extraordinary longevity.

These are extraordinary wines by any measure
Powerful, complex and beautifully evolved, with the kind of depth and pedigree that only great Rhône and time can deliver.
Museum-release Rhône of this calibre is rarely offered with both bottle age and such a depth of selection. If a wine here speaks to you, we’d strongly suggest getting in early.
Pre-orders will be offered on a first come, first served basis and confirmed by our team upon receipt of your request.
2006 Chapoutier L’Ermite Rouge, Ermitage
6 bottles available | $1,063
98 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
More taut, focused and chiseled than Le Pavillon, with black currants, bloody meat, licorice and spice. Won’t hit maturity for another decade, and will keep for two to three decades.
98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
Focused and reserved, with crushed rock-like minerality, smoked meats, black currants, licorice and Asian spices. Another killer Hermitage, with three to four decades of life ahead.
2001 Chapoutier Le Pavillon, Ermitage
6 bottles available | $1,105
93–95 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Saturated ruby-purple, with camphor, ink, crème de cassis, licorice and smoke. Dense, rich and full-bodied, with anticipated maturity from 2010 to 2030.
17/20, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
Matured in 50% new oak casks for 18 to 20 months. Surprisingly delicate perfume, fragrant yet still pretty firm, with a dryish finish.
2009 Chapoutier Le Pavillon, Ermitage
6 bottles available | $1,433
100 Points, Robert M. Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate
A perfect wine, with black-purple colour and notes of acacia flowers, blackberries, blueberries, roasted meats, crème de cassis, truffles and graphite. Built for 50 to 100 years of cellaring.
98+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
Decadent yet vivacious, with creamy raspberries, crème de cassis, crushed flowers, charcoal and grilled meats. Blockbuster stuff that needs 10 to 12 years of bottle age.
2011 Chapoutier Le Pavillon, Ermitage
6 bottles available | $1,409
100 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
Even better and a prodigious effort, showing raspberry, blackberry, licorice, toasted spices and floral nuances. Massive depth and richness, with two to three decades of ultimate longevity.
18.5/20, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
Dark, shiny crimson, very meaty and savoury, with polished tannins. Very serious indeed.
1995 Chapoutier La Mordorée, Côte-Rôtie
6 bottles available | $807
95 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
A superb wine, intensely saturated black-purple in colour, with a smoky, black raspberry, coffee and chocolate-scented nose layered with black olives. Rich and extraordinary, with both power and finesse, and 20 to 25 years of evolution ahead.
1990 Chapoutier La Mordorée, Côte-Rôtie
6 bottles available | $1,129
94 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Saturated dark ruby-purple, with sweet black fruits, flowers, toasty new oak and smoky bacon fat. Superb concentration and a mind-bogglingly long finish, capable of lasting 10 to 15 years.
2011 Chapoutier Barbe Rac, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
6 bottles available | $370
16.5/20, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
Dark crimson. Round and lively though not especially dense, with a little greenness after the easy sweet fruit.
93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
A superb success in the vintage, with black cherry, leather, ground pepper and minerality. Balanced and harmonious, and sure to age gracefully.
93 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
A smouldering feel, with singed bay leaf, alder and tobacco layered over mulled currant, blackberry coulis and dark licorice, all driven by a charcoal spine.
2012 Chapoutier Barbe Rac, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
6 bottles available | $351
18.5/20, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
Very deep and complex, with the roundness of Grenache carrying many extra layers. Really rather gorgeous.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
Brilliant. A 100% Grenache showing kirsch, sweet black cherries, crushed flowers and spice. Full-bodied and beautifully structured, with 10 to 12 years ahead.
96 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
Stunningly pure fruit, with silky layers of raspberry, boysenberry and blackberry coulis, all wrapped around a graphite spine. Best from 2018 through 2032.
2006 Chapoutier Croix de Bois, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
6 bottles available | $236
94 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
A very beguiling, stylish and perfumed wine, with incense, tea, sandalwood, red cherry and red currant. Supersilky and extremely long.
2011 Chapoutier Croix de Bois, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
6 bottles available | $260
92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
With more richness and depth, this shows strawberries, kirsch, underbrush and garrigue in a supple, fleshy and hedonistically styled frame.
92 Points, Wine Spectator, Wine Spectator
Fresh and silky, with a perfumed, focused beam of cherry, red currant and sandalwood, finishing with a mineral-tinged edge. Best from 2016 through 2026.
93 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Vivid ruby-red, with aromas of red fruit liqueur, potpourri and Asian spice. Lively raspberry and bitter cherry flavours show superb clarity, verve and length.
