With a mere 500 cases to meet the world’s demands, this, inevitably, will be over subscribed. It comes from three estates, incorporating parcels from Landonne, Chavaroche, Moulin, Rozier and Champon. Gorgeous jet-plum velvet in appearance, this is something of a bombshell. The nose and palate both express a febrile energy, focused and determined, intense, smoky dark fruit complemented by a strident, granitic minerality. 30% of the grapes are not de-stemmed, contributing vigour and pace. This is a very grown-up, noble Côte-Rôtie – an excellent ambassador for the appellation.
