Rhône Valley - Côte-Rôtie
Cotations
Dégustation
Oeil :
Very deep and black with satiny tints.
Nez :
The first nose is dominated by notes of graphite and cold smoke, and then opens up to notes of bramble leaves and mixed berries.
Bouche :
Compact on entry, with chiselled tannins and notes of black pepper and roasting over a saline finish. Verticality and purity are the keywords here.
Les conseils du Sommelier :
It shows how elegance and femininity express themselves in a wine - with extreme finesse and great depth. Very promising.
Recommended food pairing: flakes of roast small game (pheasant, song thrush) on toast, an open sandwich of roast woodcocks, roasted quail with black truffle. Serving temperature: 18-19°C. Ageing potential: > 20 years. Organic and biodynamic wine certified by FR-BIO-01 and controlled by Ecocert SAS F32600.
Cépage(s) :
Syrah
Vendanges :
Harvested by hand at maturity.
Sol :
This wine comes from a hillside with a lovely south-southeast exposure in a lieu-dit known as Neve in the commune of Ampuis. The soil here is composed of schist and mica-schist, with some seams of ground soil in the mid-section of the hillside.
Vinification :
The vinification takes place in rough concrete tanks. The harvested grapes are completely de-stemmed. Native yeasts are used for the alcoholic fermentation. During the fermentation, the temperature is allowed to gradually rise to 30-32°C. The vatting period lasts from 4 to 5 weeks with regular pumping over operations carried out at the start of the maceration, followed by some cap punching. The maceration is completed by a stirring of the lees over the last 3 weeks. By tasting the wine in the tank each day, we are able to tailor our different operations to the wine and determine the best running-off date.
Elevage :
The wines go into barrel “hot” after their running-off and 24-48 hours sedimentation to eliminate any remaining solid matter and the coarsest lees. Ageing is carried out entirely in 228-litre barrels (pièces bourguignonnes), of which 25-30% are new. The wine is racked at the end of the winter. Ageing can last 14-18 months depending on the vintage and our tastings of the wine.
Degré d’alcool :
14.5
