Tasting notes
This micro-cuvée is the crown jewel of the estate—a bold achievement for a young domaine in Côte-Rôtie, where acquiring vines is a rare feat. Crafted from two minuscule parcels, it has already garnered acclaim, marking Graeme and Julie as rising stars to watch. The 2021 vintage continues their stellar trajectory: restrained and tightly wound, with a serious, structured core. Though currently introverted, this wine promises to unfurl into magnificent complexity with time. Patience will be richly rewarded.
Expert Ratings
94/100 James Suckling
'An aromatic nose with notes of dark cherries, black pepper, smoke, grilled meat and tobacco leaf. It’s fresh and vibrant with a medium body. Good texture and finely balanced on the palate. Vivid with crunchy fruits at the center and a well-rounded character at the edges. 100% syrah, precise and energetic. Focused finish with peppery notes. Drink or hold.'
