93/100
James Suckling
"A generous, gourmet cuvée that is accessible right from its youth".
"A well-mannered 100% Syrah, lively and precise, with tension. The nose presents aromas of black fruits, roasted meat, dried herbs and baking spices. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Elegant, lively and pure, with a juicy core of black cherries and a pulpy character of crushed blueberries at the center. Well-built, with mouth-coating tannins and a concentrated, peppery finish of excellent persistence." (James Suckling 2024)

Domaine Garon
Côte-Rôtie
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line 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.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 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.
