A survivor

The strong wind broke a lot of branches and grapes in the beginning of spring. After a dry July, the rain came in august and saved the harvest! The grapes ripened very quickly in the beginning of September and we started to harvest one week earlier (15th of September) than we had planned.

The 2019 is rounded and very pure with good impact and immediate interest. Spicy on the nose with deep blackberry and loganberry fruit. This vintage has depth concentration and length and it is very well balanced with a driving vinosity.

Like 2015, 2017, and 2018, it is a sunny vintage that should age very well (more than 40 years).

Generous vintage !

The spring was very rainy, then during august there was a heat wave with no water. The vines concentrated all its energy into the grapes. The harvest was big and healthy.

Tasting: Plenty of juniper and thyme on the nose. Lovely, clarity of fruit: cherry, black currant, plum. Succulent mouthfeel, depth concentration, fine tannins, very well-balanced good persistence, and depth on the length.

2015’s twin brother !

Like in 2015, after a long heat wave, we harvested early. We had a healthy harvest with very good quality of grapes, rich in sugar and well balanced.

This vintage has a deep color, violet, and dark fruits aroma. The palate is concentrated, full of fruits with round, silky tannins, and a long finish.

Intriguing whiffs of fur, charred earth and violet perfume this freshly concentrated Syrah made from destemmed grapes and vinified with native yeast. It’s a refreshingly classic, spry expression of Côte Rôtie compared with increasingly richer, riper ones. The long finish is marked by velvet, persistent tannins. Lovely already but should improve through 2027.
