A bright, juicy and pulpy Cote-Rotie. The nose reveals notes of dark cherries, blueberries, roasted meat, baking spices and a touch of leather. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Vivid and transparent with a succulent core of blue fruit at the center. Bright and pure. Lively finish. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Saint Joseph La Sybarite does well in the vintage, with an incredibly spicy, peppery profile as well as quality darker raspberry-like fruit, medium body, a nicely balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and fine tannins. It's clearly in the fresher, elegant style of the vintage and has a terrific sense of minerality and outstanding length.
Burgaud’s 2022 Cote Rotie reveals a dark, somber bouquet of spices, licorice and smoke mingled with meaty notes. Moderately weighted and firm, it’s rustic, with pronounced hints of smoke and meat. This destemmed Côte Rôtie combines grapes from eight lieux-dits and matured for 15 months in barrels, 20% of which were new. Judgment deferred.
