2017 Côte-Rôtie “La Dorée”

Barruol Lynch
Discount Eligible $96.00
SOLD OUT

The magic of great Côte Rôtie does not come from its reputation for being a big, bombastic wine. In fact, what you’re looking for is a balance of the wild, meaty, earthy, and floral characteristics. Do not be fooled. Syrah with restraint gives the most depth, complexity, and aging potential. This one is beautiful now with some decanting, and it will continue to satisfy well into the future.

Clark Z. Terry

Vintage Chart

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
