Note: RVF 16.5/20
The initial nose of this beautiful Côte-Rôtie is closed. Then, after some aeration, aromas of black fruit and spices emerge. The wine is silky on the palate, elegant, and charming. The finish is long and shows that the wine still has many good years ahead of it. A very promising future!

Rated Estate (2014 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French wine production.)
About the estate:
“This very young wine merchant was founded through a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (former director of the family-owned Paul Jaboulet et Fils). These two heavyweights from the southern and northern parts of the valley have launched a small collection of wines from the north. The wines are selected from the barrels before malolactic fermentation at the growers’ estates; aging is then completed at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The whites are precise, dry, and well-structured, offering a solid mid-range quality. To date, we prefer the vibrancy and depth of the reds.”
