Tasting Notes

93-95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 31 Oct 18
Still aging in demi-muids, the 2016 Cote Rotie Cote Brune is going to be a terrific wine. Yes, it has some cedar and brown sugar touches, but it also has wonderfully ripe red berries to support the oak. Medium to full-bodied, it's creamy and lush on the palate, with lingering espresso notes on the long finish.
Drinking Date: 2019 - 2030

Vivid purple. Fresh dark berry, floral and olive scents show very good clarity and a hint of smoky minerality. Sweet, palate-staining blackberry and floral pastille flavors deepen slowly with air and pick up a licorice note on the back half. Rich but energetic as well, finishing with firm back-end cut, fine-grained tannins and persistent exotic spice notes.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2032

Riper, darker fruit than their Côte Blonde, with firmer tannins too. Still maintains lift and fragrance, and there's a garrigue herby bitterness on the palate too, leaving a black-olive sort of sourness to finish. You can see how the Blonde and the Brune would complement each other as a blend. (RH)

Cote-Rotie Vineyard Fine Wine

Cote Rotie

Côte-Rôtie, a distinguished Northern Rhône appellation, is famed for its elegant, complex Syrah-based red wines. The name means "Roasted Slope," reflecting its sun-drenched, steep hillsides. These wines often blend Syrah with a small amount of Viognier, adding floral notes to rich dark fruit flavours like blackberries and plums, with peppery, smoky undertones. Top producers include E. Guigal, Domaine Jamet, and Domaine Côte-Rôtie, all celebrated for crafting some of the region's most revered wines.
