The 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron exhibits lots of spice, raspberry, cassis, licorice, incense, Christmas fruitcake and fried bacon notes. The smokiness, seductiveness, lusciousness and medium to full-bodied, round, generous texture make for an endearing, sexy Cote Rotie to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. There is not much of the Cote Rotie La Landonne (approximately 500 cases produced), but it ranks alongside the great La Landonnes made by Marcel and Philippe Guigal.
A classic Côte-Rôtie that’s 100% Syrah and a blend of both Côte Brune (70%) and Côte Blonde (30%) that’s aged half in new French oak, the 2009 Delas Frères Côte-Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron delivers a solid array of red and black fruits, wild herbs, spice, and bacon fat on the nose. Beautifully done on the palate, with a medium-bodied, structured, yet precise feel, excellent acidity, and ripe tannin, this gorgeous, elegant Côte-Rôtie is approachable now, yet will be at its best in 3-4 years, and drink well for 12-15 years.
