Tasting Notes

Mid ruby. Broad and a little bit sweet. Less classical than the Jamet 2010 served alongside. Still quite youthful. Lots to chew on. A fairly big, bold example of the appellation.
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2027

The largest cuvee (20,000 bottles) is the 2010 Cote Rotie Classique, Stephane Ogier’s "greatest vintage to date." Seventy percent of the fruit comes from their holdings on the Cote Brune. It boasts a dense purple color along with a sweet nose of asphalt, licorice, forest floor, blackberries, cassis and bouquet garni, sensational concentration and sweet tannins. The structure, freshness and minerality suggest another 3-4 years of cellaring may be beneficial. It has 25 years of potential evolution.
Anticipated maturity: 2015-2040
