Description
“The 2017 Cote Rotie was still in separate lots when I visited, yet I came away with remarkably similar impressions from the Gerine (fragrant charming and silky) and le Plomb (taut, intense and structural) as I did last year. A number of other lots will go into the final assemblage (Chavaroche, Fongeant, Lezardes and several more, probably including La Landonne). There’s more cracked pepper and violets on the nose of the 2017 than the 2018 and also a touch more crispness and tension on the palate.”-93-96WA, 2022-2035
