From the estate
92/100 James Suckling
“A well-balanced, dense and creamy red wine with notes of black cherry, cassis, wild flowers and stones. Quite full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. A juicy core with bright cherry and violet character and a more serious, mellow profile on the rim. Lots of drive and black pepper on the finish. ”
Origin and vineyard
Côte-Rôtie Montlys comes from the prestigious terroir of Saint-Cyr-sur-Rhône, more precisely from the Montlys estate, renowned for its ideal growing conditions.
Grape variety
This cuvée is made exclusively from Syrah, the region's emblematic grape variety, which gives the wine its structure and depth.
Terroir and soil
The soil is composed of decomposed quartzite schist, which lends a unique minerality to the wine and promotes excellent drainage, contributing to the exceptional quality of the grapes.
Age of vines and ageing
The vines have an average age of 20 years, enabling them to produce concentrated, well-balanced grapes. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrel, with 30% new barrels and 70% barrels between 2 and 4 years old, enriching its complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit.
Alcohol content and ageing potential
With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this wine is perfectly balanced and can be kept for up to 15 years in good conditions, allowing it to develop even more complexity over time.
Food & wine
This Côte-Rôtie Montlys goes wonderfully well with tasty dishes such as roast venison, pheasant casserole or tartiflette, bringing a gourmet touch to your meals.
