Moderately strong wood and menthol elements frame the aromas of essence of red cherry

A wine of pure and total pleasure

Made after very long ageing in different oak vats and barrels

Rene Rostaing, Cote Rotie Blonde other_regions focusing on the cedarwoodThe most tannic of the "big three" bottlings this year, the 2018 Cote Rotie la Cote Blonde features elegant hints of mixed herbs entwined around bold boysenberry fruit. It's medium to full bodied, with plentiful fine grained tannins that firm up on the long finish. Embryonic, but oh so promising, it should blossom in another five years or so.
