Robert Parker

(2019 Vintage Notes)
Syrah
finesse
Lamb Loin with Porcini Mushrooms
Made from grapes grown on light-colored soils in the Leyat, Côte Blonde, Fongeant, La Brosse, and Le Truchet vineyards, the Prélude cuvée is aged for 20 months in barrels. Its nose of dark berries and violets, with hints of spice and camphor, leads to a soft, delicate palate characterized by finesse. Concentrated, structured by delicate tannins, and marked by a certain freshness on the finish, this is a Côte-Rôtie full of nuance.

About the estate:

A small winery with vineyards that are sometimes quite old in the Côte Brune region, and a disciple of Patrick Jasmin’s winemaking style—a mark of authenticity. The winery managed to do well in 2015, which is typical for the region.
