Very dense and layered with finely polished tannins that give form and energy to the deep, layered fruit that shows blackberries, cracked pepper, black olives and light grilled meat. It’s full and flavorful. From organically grown grapes. Best to leave it three or four years, but so succulent and attractive already. Better after 2023. ... More details

With the firm's holdings being in the southern portion of the appellation near Maison Rouge in Tupin-Semons, it is no surprise that the 2018 Cote Rotie Les Pierrelles (Domaine) is a fine, elegant expression of the appellation. Scents of crushed stone and olive give way to red berries on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is concentrated but silky, with hints of cranberry and cedar creeping in on the long finish.

Deep, shimmering violet. Expansive, mineral- and spice-accented black and blue fruit aromas show excellent clarity and pick up a suave floral note with air. Shows impressive depth as well as energy to the sweet black raspberry, boysenberry and candied violet flavors, which turn spicier on the back half. The floral and mineral notes drive a very long, juicy finish framed by smooth, even tannins.

Another beautiful 2018 from Côte Rôtie, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Les Pierrelles sports a deep, opaque ruby hue to go with spicy, perfumed notes of candied flowers, peppery spice, cured meats, incense, and both red and blue fruits. With a touch of chocolaty minerality emerging with time in the glass, it's medium to full-bodied, balanced, and monolithic. Give bottles 2-4 years to develop additional complexity and enjoy over the following decade.

Very dense and layered with finely polished tannins that give form and energy to the deep, layered fruit that shows blackberries, cracked pepper, black olives and light grilled meat.

Varietal: Syrah

There are few red wine grape varietals in the world quite as versatile as that of the Shiraz/Syrah vine. These powerful darkly colored grapes are responsible for several wildly popular wines, and are used in the production of still, fortified and sparkling wines, all which carry its magnificent strong flavors very well indeed. This grape varietal is a robust one, easily adaptable to several different climates and terroirs, and yet has a strong ability to express the conditions it is grown in when it ferments and is drank. Most typically, Shiraz/Syrah wines are known for spicy flavors with a big fruity punch, and the fact that they can demonstrate the decisions made by the winemakers in their secondary flavors very clearly.

Region: Rhone Valley

In southern France, one of the primary wine regions responsible for the production of a fine and varied range of wines is the Rhone Valley. Split into two large sub-regions, this expansive valley benefits from micro-climates which allow the wineries to grow a vast array of fine grape varietals. The northern region is the more limited one in regards to the amount of varietals grown, focusing predominantly on raising excellent quality Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier vines for their distinctive and elegant range of wines. The southern region, on the other hand, has a beautifully Mediterranean climate, and is home to dozens of grape varietals which are used to produce white, red and rosé wines, alongside some of the most famous and widely loved blended wines in the world.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
