Tasted Nov 2020

Largely spared by the frost due to its optimal location on the bank of the Gironde and subject to a draconian selection

originating from a single parcel of four hectares called “La Cote aux Enfants” – a very small production dedicated only to the greatest vintages

Adjectives tumbled from Étienne during the tasting: seductive and precise

2020 Côte-Rôtie, Lieu-Dit Bonnivières, Yves Cuilleron, Rhône Women in Wine which will be extremely rewardingFormally known as Terres Sobres this cuve comes from 80 year old Serine vines grown high up an east facing mica schist slope above Ampuis. It is vibrant and fresh, with small, concentrated red cherry fruit on the palate, a light brush of cedar and black pepper, and a palate of silky smooth tannins. Elegant and succulent yet poised, with a long finish. Georgina Haacke, Fine Wine Buyer, Berry Bros. & Rudd
