All from the Bercheries lieu-dit, in the southern part of the appellation and just above Masion-Rouge, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Pierrelles (100% Syrah) has a deeper ruby/purple hue as well as a perfumed, floral nose of red and blue fruits, smoked earth, violets, and a kiss of game. It’s balanced, medium-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and outstanding length.
Very refined nose of blue and black berries with some bacon fat, spice and candied orange. A tightly structured Cote-Rotie, this has been built to last. Some may find it a bit challenging on release, but we love the generous, fine-grained tannins that build impressively at the imposing and firm finish
