An iconic cuvée, this Côte-Rôtie is a parcel from the Côte Blonde. Fine and racy, it remains a rich, precise pleasure wine, which will sublimate a rack of lamb or game. Class incarnate ! - Please note, quantities are very limited.

Expert opinion
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.

Rated (guide 2022) 92-94/100 (Vintage 2020) (Wonderful wine)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
