The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.

This thoroughbred wine is sculpted for the cellar but still provides a lot of immediate gratification.

From the border of the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, and renowned for sharing the best of both: structure from the Brune, with silky, floral elegance provided by the Blonde.

The roots of these vines run deep, and deep is what you get in the glass, too—a rich mix of black olive, fennel, and raspberry.

Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.

A thick perfume of dry-aged meat, smoke, and violets preface a wine that is powerful, but in perfect proportion.

Irresistible notes of black olive, succulent black cherries, and spices

This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.

Made from six vineyards that, when blended, showcase the whole of the Côte Rôtie appellation.
