Note di degustazione
Inky ruby-red. Highly expressive aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, licorice, exotic spices and olive, along with a hint of smokiness. Stains the palate with sappy, mineral-laced cassis, boysenberry and candied violet flavors that show impressive depth and detail. Concentrated but energetic as well, finishing with sharp clarity, youthfully solid tannins and strong, blue-fruit-driven tenacity. Made with 80% whole clusters.

The 2018 Côte Rôtie Leyat comes from the Côte Brune, just above the Côte Bodin. It’s incredible wine in its own right and has a powerful, masculine style in its smoky black (and some blue) fruits as well as ground pepper, stems, and graphite. Full-bodied and blockbuster styled on the palate, yet with awesome purity and flawless balance, it needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will have 20+ of prime drinking.
The rich, concentrated 2018 Cote Rotie Leyat is full-bodied but a bit coarser and more open-knit than some of the other lieux-dits. Black cherries and blackberries dominate this bold offering.
