Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon 2004 1.5L OWC — Empty Wood Case is the original wooden shipping case (OWC) supplied by Maison Chapoutier for the 2004 Le Pavillon 1.5-litre magnum release. The listing is for the empty case only — no liquid is included — sold as a provenance, presentation or storage piece for collectors of single-vineyard northern Rhône Syrah.
From the Producer
Maison M. Chapoutier, headquartered at Tain-l'Hermitage, is one of the great historic names of the northern Rhône valley and the largest landowner on the Hermitage hill. Le Pavillon is Chapoutier's flagship red Hermitage cuvée, drawn from old Syrah vines on the Bessards lieu-dit at the eastern end of the hill where the granite bedrock is most exposed. Magnums of Le Pavillon are produced in very small quantities and are typically shipped in their original wooden case, branded with the château's vintage and single-vineyard marks. The 2004 vintage in the northern Rhône is widely regarded as a balanced, classical year. Sources: Maison Chapoutier (chapoutier.com) and Wine Spectator's Hermitage coverage.
