Côte-Rôtie

Full

Cork

Flamboyant, open and impressive aromatic display, unmistakably Blonde soils and high-quality oak barrels, with sandalwood, tobacco, star anise and dill. Medium-bodied, but with density, there's a touch of dryness and woodiness from the new oak on the finish. Good sense of freshness and intensity, this is a very eye-catching wine. The oak is dominating for my taste, but many will enjoy the aromatic fireworks. Vines planted in 1972 in lieu-dit Lancement, on the Blonde side. Ninety percent destemmed, matured 24 months in 100% new oak barriques.
