The wine comes from a tiny parcel in the commune of Tupin et Semons, located in the extreme south of the Côte Rôtie appellation. Made from old vine Syrah and a small percentage of Viognier, this cuvee offers a deep red color with purple hues, and a fragrant nose of candied red fruits with some roasted notes. A wine of great finesse and a delicate, long, silky finish.
With beef stew, marinated red meats and sweetbreads. Serve at 16°C (60°F)
"Deep, vivid ruby color. Mineral-accented black raspberry, cherry, violet and cracked pepper scents, along with smoky bacon and cola nuances. Sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering ripe cassis, cherry-cola and spicecake flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Shows sharp delineation and dark fruit thrust on a persistent finish that's framed by steadily building tannins. 20% new oak. - Josh RAYNOLDS"
