“A wine you never tire of”
“Rich and fragrant with a wide range of aromas, from summer flowers to licorice and black pepper. Rich, deep, and structured, this great Côte-Rôtie has everything we look for in this famous appellation. A very long finish with remarkable tannins, violet notes, and a stony minerality. Astonishing depth for just 12.5% alcohol! Enjoy now, but best served from 2025 onward.” (James Suckling 2023) • Please note: very limited quantities available.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This estate owns several lovely vineyards in the Côte Blonde region, including one on the Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schist soils near La Landonne. The production still lacks consistency, but the style is authentic, bearing the hallmark of whole-cluster fermentation. The 2017 vintage showed great promise this year.

About the wine:
The nose still shows some reduction, but not to a problematic degree at this stage. The medium-bodied fruit, which coats the palate, is very fresh and well-balanced. The tannins are juicier than in most 2021 wines, and with its fine, lively acidity and moderate alcohol, this wine shows great promise and should be excellent if the reduction resolves during aging. The rating assumes this will be the case. Sourced from four specific vineyard sites and 25-year-old vines in the Côte Blonde, aged for 21 months in barrels of varying sizes and ages.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Garon wines beautifully showcase the diversity of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are captivated by the estate’s winemaking style, which stands out for its refined texture. The fruit is precise, and the aging profiles gain depth depending on the terroirs and the winemaker’s skill in managing oak. Among the various cuvées, La Sybarine reflects the character of the granite soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, is made from schist; Les Rochins is crafted from the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
