Tasting Notes

97-99
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 19 Dec 19
The most tannic of the "big three" bottlings this year, the 2018 Cote Rotie la Cote Blonde features elegant hints of mixed herbs entwined around bold boysenberry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, with plentiful fine-grained tannins that firm up on the long finish. Embryonic, but oh so promising, it should blossom in another five years or so.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2045

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 22 Dec 22
Deep, glistening ruby. Intensely perfumed, sharply delineated red and blue fruits, incense, candied violet and Moroccan spices on the seductively perfumed nose. Stains the palate with juicy, mineral-driven cherry, black raspberry and blueberry flavors, which are complemented by suggestions of olive paste, candied flowers and allspice. Shows superb focus and energy on the strikingly long finish, which features harmonious tannins and reverberating floral and mineral notes. All whole clusters.
Drinking Date: 2028 - 2038

Cask sample. Vegetal notes plus rich, stewed bramble fruit. More subtle than their La Landonne, and there's a lighter weight to the body too. Tightly furled. (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.
