Wine Reviews

The oak sticks out a little, adding cedar, brown sugar and maple syrup notes to raspberries and hickory smoke on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied and supple, turning a bit drying and woody on the finish.

The 2022 Côte-Rôtie Les Pierrelles starts with intense graphite, licorice, black cherry and cedar wood notes. Elegant and classic, the medium-bodied 2022 is a distinctively refined Côte-Rôtie, mingling solid flavor concentration and ample freshness.

In spite of its richness and concentration, this is a very suave and elegant Cote-Rotie. A wealth of juicy blackberry aromas fills out the beautifully balanced, medium- to full-bodied palate. Notes of pomegranates and black olives develop as this youthful beauty opens up.

Very refined nose of blue and black berries with some bacon fat, spice and candied orange. A tightly structured Cote-Rotie, this has been built to last. Some may find it a bit challenging on release, but we love the generous, fine-grained tannins that build impressively at the imposing and firm finish

All from the Bercheries lieu-dit, in the southern part of the appellation and just above Masion-Rouge, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Pierrelles (100% Syrah) has a deeper ruby/purple hue as well as a perfumed, floral nose of red and blue fruits, smoked earth, violets, and a kiss of game. It’s balanced, medium-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and outstanding length.
