100% Syrah from 35 year old vines planted on the steep, terraced, schistous slopes of the Cote Blonde. Only 1200bts were produced.
“From a higher elevation on the Cote Blonde side of the appelation, the 2018 Cote Rotie Lancement shines more for its complexity and elegance than sheer power, offering a kaleidoscope-like array of black raspberries, blueberries, spring flowers, violets, crushed rocks and pepper. A wine that benefits from air, it gains richness and depth with time in the glass and has medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance and a great finish. It doesn’t have the minerality of Les Rochins but it’s just as seamless, elegant and finesse-driven as they come. This magical Cote Rotie will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and blow you away over the next 20 years or more.” 99/100pts Jeb Dunnuck
