Côte-Rôtie

Full

Cork

Blood and iodine on the nose. Medium-bodied, but with good weight of fruit and very good balance. The oak works well, sitting in the background. The tannins are very present, but all well integrated and saturated in fruit. It has a long finish, between fruity and savoury. 20- to 60-year-old vines growing on an abrupt slope with very thin topsoil. Fermented in concrete tanks with 20% whole bunch; aged in demi-muids, 20% new.
