Note di degustazione
Full ruby. Fresh, mineral-accented dark berries, olive and potpourri on the intensely perfumed nose. Supple and broad in the mouth; gently sweet blackberry and floral pastille flavors are enlivened by zesty acidity and a hint of peppery spices. Closes supple, smoky and very long, with hints of spicecake and cola and youthfully firm tannins that add shape and grip.

A step up over the Côte Blonde release, the 2013 Côte Rôtie Cote Brune was similarly not destemmed and saw 5% Viognier in the blend. Aged 30 months in 600-liter, two- to five-year-old barrels, it has gorgeous minerality in its dark fruits, smoked herbs, wild herbs and olive tapenade bouquet. This carries to a medium plus-bodied Côte Rôtie that has a killer mid-palate, a beautiful texture and sweet tannin that frame the finish. Drink this high class Côte Rôtie anytime over the coming 10-15 years.
