Heritage and Tradition

The Sorrel family has a deep-rooted connection to the fabled hillside of Hermitage. Félix Alexandre Sorrel, the family patriarch, purchased his first vineyard parcel in the "Bessards" lieu-dit back in the late 1800s. Today, the Sorrel brothers, Jean Michel, Jacques, and Bruno, continue this legacy, tending to three parcels within "Les Plantiers," "Les Greffieux," and "Les Bessards." The vineyards, including the youngest Hermitage Rouge vines, are over 50 years old, ensuring a rich and complex flavor profile.

• Family heritage since the late 1800s
• Three parcels within Hermitage's prestigious vineyards
