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

Best enjoyed young: a 7-hour-old lamb, tender and flavorful, will pair perfectly with this wine...

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 pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
“This fledgling 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). Two heavyweights from the southern and northern parts of the valley, they produce a small collection of wines from the north. The wines are selected from the barrel before malolactic fermentation at the growers’ estates; aging is then completed at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The style of the whites is precise, dry, and well-structured, offering a solid mid-range quality. To date, we prefer the vibrancy and depth of the reds.”
