Note di degustazione
Inky ruby. Expansive aromas of blackberry, cherry and boysenberry, with exotic spice, potpourri and olive notes building in the glass. Deeply pitched and broad on the palate, offering intense, mineral-accented black and blue fruit liqueur, licorice, floral pastille and cola flavors, along with a spicy cracked pepper flourish. The floral quality builds steadily with air and carries through a wonderfully long, chewy finish that features resonating mineral and spice notes and youthfully gripping tannins.

The 2019 Côte Rotie Nève comes from the Mica schist soils in the northern part of the appellation and it’s always a more mineral-laced, firmer expression of Côte Rôtie. Black cherry, cassis, new leather, and crushed stone notes all emerge from this nicely concentrated, medium to full-bodied 2019. It’s a big, ripe, structured wine that stays balanced and pure. It needs bottle age, though.
From a lieu-dit that sits quite high on the slope, the 2019 Cote Rotie Neve shows a bit more oak than the Mordoree bottling, featuring vanilla and cedar layered atop raspberries and black cherries. Full-bodied, it's rich and concentrated, yet silky in texture, with a long, mouthwatering finish.
The 2019 Côte Rotie Nève isn't far off the 2018 in style and might even be a bigger, richer wine. Black raspberries, candied violets, flowers, and a kiss of classy oak all emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant. This floral, mineral-laced, structured Côte Rôtie is going to need 2-4 years of bottle age and will drink brilliantly for 20 years or more.
