93+ Points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“The 2013 L’Ermitage Brut is the current release of L’Ermitage and was disgorged in June of 2019. 2013 was the beginning of a long period of drought, and winemaker Arnaud Weyrich feels that it brings this vintage “concentration, phenolics and texture—this wine has body.” The nose is open and inviting, golden apples mingling with toast, mushrooms, honey and crushed stone. The medium-bodied palate, with eight grams per liter dosage, has pure fruits tactfully accented by earthy, toasty notes. It’s energetic but rounded, supported by a finely beaded mousse, and it finishes long and layered.”

93 Points Wine & Spirits:
“L’Ermitage is a selection of the estate’s top fruit of the vintage. The 2013 is 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir, with 4% barrel-aged reserve wine from the 2011 vintage. It’s mouthwatering and dynamic, with layers of flavor, both fresh apple and more mature notes. An elegant, satisfying sparkler with dimension, it’s fit for a plateau de fruits de mer.”
