For as long as we can remember, in the garden or in the vineyard, farming has always been a part of our family history. We are fervent farmers and fervent winegrowers. This passion for the soil, vines, good wine and good food, means that we continue to follow our family heritage. It drives us to cultivate our Earth in the most natural way possible, whether it is on the vertiginous slopes of Côte-Rôtie or on the softer grounds of the Coteaux du Lyonnais.
This cuvée makes up most of the wine we produce. It comes from vines located above the hamlet of Verenay, mainly in the place known as “La Viallière”, but also in “Champon”, “Le Plomb” and “Verenay”. The assemblage from these places gives fine, elegant wines, although they do have a definite tannic presence. They can be drunk in the year after bottling, to take full advantage of the youthful aromas or a few years later, when age will have added to their complexity. –Winemakers Notes
Moving to the reds, the classic 2015 Côte Rôtie Classique incorporates 4% Viognier and is brought up in 15% new barrels. Its inky purple color is followed by straight up smokin†good notes of black olives, spring flowers, black raspberries and graphite. It has full-bodied richness, building tannin and a great texture, all pointing to an outstanding wine that will evolve gracefully. – Jeb Dunnuck – 28.12.16
(raised in 20% new oak): Bright purple. Mineral-accented aromas of fresh dark berries and pungent flowers. Spicy and taut on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and violet pastille flavors and a hint of smokiness. Puts on weight with air while maintaining vivacity and focus. Finishes bright, silky and long, displaying very good clarity, harmonious tannins and building spiciness. –Josh Raynolds
