"A Côte-Rôtie with a bright future!"
“The 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places, another impressive wine, offers an abundance of red and black fruit along with notes of smoked meat, iron, flowers, and an almost blood-like character. It’s a true mineral powerhouse, medium- to full-bodied, with a structured, tannic palate, great depth in the mid-palate, and an excellent finish. ” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

About the estate:
After studying in Beaune, followed by experience in the United States and the Bordeaux region at his wife’s estate (Ch. Filliol), Stéphane Pichat returned to his homeland to breathe new life into this historic property, founded by his great-grandparents. Settling in 2000, he began bottling his own wines and, working with 5 hectares in Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu, has consistently produced wines of impeccable quality.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (An outstanding wine)
About the wine:
Very different from its counterpart, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places reveals a dense, deep bouquet of oak, smoke, iron, spices, and oven-roasted black berries. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, dense and firm, it is concentrated, with structured tannins and a firm, relatively robust finish. The oak is very prominent at this stage, somewhat overshadowing the wine’s inherent power. I doubt that cellaring will allow the terroir to fully emerge, as the oak is likely to continue dominating rather than fading.
Vinous
Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
The 2022 Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes Places remains dominated by oak, revealing notes of smoky wood, black cherry compote, and cloves, with a hint of bourbon vanilla. Built around massive oak tannins, the structured 2022 is clearly built for the long term, requiring at least five more years before the cork can be removed. An intense and complex finish rounds it all out.
