Cote Rotie Gallet Blanc, Domaine François Villard 2009

Tasting Notes

95% Syrah, 5% Viognier. Intense, pure dark fruit. Clean zesty cherry aroma and just a hint of vanilla. Like the St-Joseph, the first impression is light and elegant, though there’s a more sustained intensity of pure fruit here and a fine mineral line. Tannins are almost powdery, they are so fine. Long and fresh. Easy to underestimate at this stage. Drink between 2014-2020
