Tasting Notes

The 1999 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde (25,000 cases) includes 5% Viognier in the blend. It is a fragrant, soft, medium-bodied effort revealing notes of violets, licorice, and jammy cherry as well as currant fruit presented in a sweet, medium to full-bodied style. Seductive and lush, it is impossible to resist. Consume it over the next 10-12 years

More mature, the 2000 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde offers plenty of pepper, potpourri, dried flowers and spice that flow nicely to a medium-bodied, seamless and ready to go profile on the palate. Fully mature, it needs consuming over the coming couple of years.
