Very dense and layered with finely polished tannins that give form and energy to the deep, layered fruit that shows blackberries, cracked pepper, black olives and light grilled meat. It?s full and flavorful. From organically grown grapes. Best to leave it three or four years, but so succulent and attractive already. Better after 2023.

With the firm's holdings being in the southern portion of the appellation near Maison Rouge in Tupin-Semons, it is no surprise that the 2018 Cote Rotie Les Pierrelles (Domaine) is a fine, elegant expression of the appellation. Scents of crushed stone and olive give way to red berries on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is concentrated but silky, with hints of cranberry and cedar creeping in on the long finish.
