Beautiful red and black fruits and floral notes emerge from the 2022 Côte Rôtie, and it's medium to full-bodied, seamless, and incredibly pure on the palate. The tannins are ultra-fine, and it has beautiful balance, purity, and precision. This is a stunning wine that will evolve gracefully.

Alluring and streamlined, with a warm layer of damson plum and blue fruit notes fashioned around a firming spine of iron. No rough edges, but there's plenty of framework to go the distance in the cellar. Hints of warm earth, lavender and juniper detail the harmonious, clean finish. Best from 2026 through 2040. 370 cases imported.

The structured 2022 Côte-Rôtie allures with pronounced notes of black cherry compote, cedar, dried herbs and a touch of vanilla. Inviting and complex, it’s a medium-bodied, tightly knit effort, calling for at least four more years in bottle to come around. This closes with notable length on the savory finish.

Winemaker Notes

On the palate, it reveals a fresh attack followed by an ample, structured, long lasting finish. The wine unfurls in successive stages and ends with top-quality tannins produced by whole cluster fermentation. It features aromas and flavors of smoked ham, violet, graphite, graphite, and licorice.

Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah.
