"A wine you can't get enough of".

"Rich and fragrant with a broad spectrum of aromas, from summer flowers to licorice and black pepper. Rich, deep and structured, this great Côte-Rôtie has everything we look for in this famous appellation. Very long finish with amazing tannins, violet and stony minerality. Amazing depth for only 12.5% alcohol! To be enjoyed now, but preferably from 2025 onwards". (James Suckling 2023) - Attention, very limited quantities.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

This estate has a few pretty vines in the Côte Blonde area, including one on Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schists near La Landonne. The production still lacks homogeneity, but the style is authentic, with the mark of the whole harvest. The 2017s showed a beautiful face this year.

About the wine:

The nose still shows some reduction, but not in a problematic way at this stage. The medium-bodied, mouth-coating fruit is very fresh and well balanced. The tannins are more succulent than most 2021 wines and, with the fine, zesty acidity and tempered alcohol, this wine shows great promise and should be excellent if the reduction is resolved during aging. The note assumes this will be the case. Made from four lieux-dits and 25-year-old vines in Côte Blonde, aged for 21 months in barrels of different sizes and ages.

Domaine rated (2024 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

The Garon sons bring out the best in the diversity of Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are seduced by the style of the domaine's wines, which are distinguished by their finesse of texture. The fruit is precise, and the ageing progresses according to the terroirs and their ability to handle the wood. Among the different cuvées, La Sybarine evokes the expression of granitic soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, comes from schist; Les Rochins is born on the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
