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.

Varietal: Syrah

Whilst there remains plenty of debate over which is the 'correct' name for the Shiraz/Syrah grape varietal, nobody is in any doubt about the influence and popularity this grape has had over recent decades. For centuries, this varietal has been used in single variety and blended wines in the regions of France it is most closely associated with, yet the 20th century saw it become one of the definitive grape varietals of New World red wines, where its big, robust character and spicy, berry-rich flavors proved to be a hit with international audiences. Today, Shiraz/Syrah is said to be the seventh most widely planted grape varietal in the world, and is used for a remarkably wide variety of quality red wines – including still, sparkling and fortified varieties.

Region: Rhone Valley

For over two thousand years, the southern French region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers and wineries of many different types. The ancient Greeks were the first to discover that a wide range of grape varietals can flourish in the rich soils and micro-climates which typify the region, and little has changed to this day. In the modern age, the Rhone Valley is recognized around the world as the home of excellent quality white, red and rosé wines, as well as some of the most highly respected blended wines on earth. The region is split into two distinctive sub-regions, with the cooler, continental northern sub-region producing primarily Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines of exquisite quality, and the hotter southern sub-region growing a much wider variety of grapes.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
