Discover the distinct class and elegance of Georges Vernay Cote-Rotie Maison Rouge 2021. The wine is an eloquent expression of the northern Rhone Valley, originating from one of the most respected wine-making houses in France. Georges Vernay, a game-changing winemaker, is renowned for resuscitating the Condrieu appellation and elevating its Viognier variety to international acclaim.

Meticulous vinification in French oak barrels gives way to a structured, generously fruity wine with intense raspberry and blackcurrant notes, balanced by earthy undertones of black pepper and olives. Its striking minerality and velvety tannins are a testament to the granitic and schistose soils of the vineyard.
Released only in it's finest years, Georges Vernay Cote-Rotie Maison Rouge 2021 is an exquisite wine to savour, embodying the epitome of fine Rhone winemaking.

More closed than when I tasted it earlier this year, the 2010 Cote Rotie Chateau d’Ampuis is an incredible effort that’s made from 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier. Coming from the estate’s top sites and aged 38 months in new oak, it has no problem standing beside the top three single-vineyard releases. Crème de cassis, vanilla bean, smoked meats and licorice all flow to a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, structured Cote Rotie that needs another 5-6 years of bottle age, but will keep for 2-3 decades.Inc.

I loved the 2015 Côte Rôtie Château D'Ampuis from barrel, and this beauty does not disappoint from bottle. Coming from a handful of top sites, it’s made in the same fashion as the top La Las, seeing four years in new barrels. Deep purple-hued with a classic bouquet of black raspberries, jammy blackberries, acacia flowers, vanilla bean, and spice, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a rounded, expansive mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a great, great finish. Savvy readers will stock up on this beauty. Give it 3-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades or more.Inc. GSTSG$1,279.07 -
