Notes : Robert Parker 87-90/100, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 14,5/20
"The modern style of the classic Côte Rôtie 2011 shows plenty of toasty oak aromas, with elegant raspberry, Christmas fruitcake and spice notes. Fruity and medium-bodied, in a delicious style. Drink in its first 7-8 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
