CÔTE RÔTIE La Viallière Domaine Clusel-Roch 2019

100% Syrah. Organic. Partial destemming. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Two years’ ageing in 228-litre oak, 25% new. Barrel sample. Tasted blind. Reticent nose that is suggesting blue and sweet blackberry fruit. Real linearity here with a subtle peppery note and very fine tannins. There is a seductive and mysterious feel to this wine, there is a lot of fruit and power waiting to come out over the coming years, such lovely freshness.

CÔTE RÔTIE Maison Rouge Domaine Benjamin et David Duclaux 2020

A lovely nose, in a very elegant style, it's not dominated by new oak. Fine, red-fruited aromas with a touch of juniper, and a good sense of precision. Weightier than expected on the palate. It's delicate, but has good presence and fullness. Good acidity and a spicy finish. Fresh, well balanced, will age well. Good now, but wait for further complexity. The family has 1.4ha in this lieu-dit, partly planted in 1943, partly in the mid-1970s. First vintage was 2005, but just 900 bottles; 2006 was the first to be sold commercially. Gneiss soils; stems only included since the 2017 vintage. Natural yeasts, submerged cap fermentation, 40% new oak.
