TASTING AT THE DOMAIN

Power, elegance, length

Black fruits, oriental spices, smoke, licorice, cigar box, chocolate, black pepper...

This Côte-Rôtie launched by Christine has made the reputation of the Domaine as much as Vernon: coming from old Syrah vines on the place called Maison Rouge, it has an inimitable class! Structured and perfectly balanced, it is as sensual and voluptuous as it is spicy and bewitching. The tannins are assertive, but the mastery of its winemaking makes for an exceptionally silky mouth: velvet.

Power, elegance, harmony, sensuality...
