Made from old vines on one of the best terroirs in the south of the appellation, this great Côte-Rôtie de garde has a magnificent black purple colour. It delivers superb scents of black fruits, oriental spices and smoke. On the palate, the wine offers assertive but silky and very seductive tannins. It develops sumptuous notes of liquorice and cigar box in retro-olfaction. To drink young, decant for 2 hours and serve at 18°.
