2018 Côte-Rôtie “Emporium”

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $103.00
SOLD OUT

Faury’s “Emporium” is sourced exclusively from the Fourvier lieu-dit and sees about a year longer in demi-muid and barrel than his standard Côte-Rôtie. With all the freshness and finesse you’d expect from Faury, this is about as downright swallowable as a young Côte-Rôtie can get.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
