2023 Cote Rotie Champin Seigneur

The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Champin le Seigneur derives from 11 parcels—representing around nine of the estate’s 20 hectares—situated largely in the northern sector of the appellation on schist soils, with some 5% Viognier co-planted. Entirely destemmed and fermented in stainless steel, it matured for 22 months in barrel, including 30% new oak from coopers Rémond and Ermitage. Opening with aromas of licorice, dark berries and oak, marked by a reductive and faintly carnal register, it is medium- to full-bodied, juicy and round yet structured, framed by firm and slightly woody tannins, concluding with a meaty finish.
