Tasting Notes: Pierre adds a dash of Viognier to his Côte Rôtie (he has little option really since some of the plots are co-planted) which gives the wine an aromatic allure to this wonderfully elegant wine.
All wines from this estate | Drinking Dates: 2022 to 2030 | Cépagement: Syrah with a little Viognier | Upbringing: Handpicked harvest, sorting of the healthy and well-ripened grapes. Total de-stemming. Cold maceration before fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation at 35°C. Maceration after fermentation at 30°C. Malolactic fermentation in barrels.
Aged 18 months in new oak from Allier and Nevers. Barrels 50% new with oxygen added every 4 months. | ABV: 14% | Critic Reviews: 'Brilliant ruby. Displays expressive, spice-accented dark berry preserve and incense aromas that are complemented by floral, vanilla and cracked pepper nuances. Broad and velvety on the palate, o!ering pliant, spice-laced blackberry, blueberry, and smoky bacon flavors that become livelier with air. Closes on repeating berry and floral notes, with gently gripping tannins and very good persistence.' 92/100 (Vinous) |
