If there is one wine we would like to present to show what a fine Côte Rôtie can – and should – be, it would be this cuvée, as it crystallises the qualities of aroma, finesse and freshness of the appellation's finest examples.

Viticulture

This cuvée takes its name from “Fortis fortuna fortior”: fortune favors the bold. This was the motto of the estate's owner in the 17th century, Marshal of France under Louis XIV. This wine comes from the slopes of blond granite soils (leuco-gneiss) south of Ampuis.

Oenology

100% destemming, cold maceration for 1 week, punching down twice a day for 3 to 4 weeks, pumping over twice a day for 3 to 4 weeks, long and gradual fermentation, low-pressure pneumatic pressing to avoid bursting the seeds. Maturation for 19 months in new French oak demi-muids (580 litres).
