| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 37 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Billiken on 12/17/2023 & rated 88 points: I liked this wine. Was surprised by the very low rating from Parker, but while not a great wine, it was quite enjoyable and very much representative of Cote Rotie. Lacks complexity, but nice hints of leather and tobacco on the nose along with well-resolved fruit, maybe plum and rhubarb. Pleasant on the palate, but not a big finish. (388 views) | | | Tasted by LWI on 4/5/2023 & rated 89 points: Big mouthful, earthy, a bit too extracted and drying finish. (682 views) | | | Tasted by DaleW on 5/25/2022: Dark fruits, a little smoke, good finish, tasty but not really exciting. B (1198 views) | | | Tasted by InVinjeVeritas on 5/4/2022 & rated 90 points: Fruit intact, but with development. Should last some years more. Good value for mony, budget cote rotie. (1227 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 11/14/2021 & rated 93 points: This is delicious, classic animal styled Cote Rotie. I think the WA blew the call on this one. Blackberry fruit mingles beautifully with autumn leaves and dry animal fur. In a great place with mature notes while maintaining a nice framework of acidity. Meant for the table. A great foil for many of the over manipulated wines from the region. (93) (1535 views) | | | Tasted by Gannet2013 on 2/22/2021: In a great place currently. Not sure there is much more to come but no rush to drink up (1530 views) | | | Tasted by nywine68 on 10/30/2020 & rated 90 points: Plenty of acidity left to lend it freshness. Decent complexity with a funky nose of prunes, olives and mushrooms. Tannins are a bit dry. (1431 views) | | | Tasted by nywine68 on 5/16/2020 & rated 90 points: Starts off a bit tart and thin but then fills in after some time in the glass. Sour red cherries with wet earth and licorice. Lacks a bit of depth and length but otherwise enjoyable (1445 views) | | | Tasted by Gannet2013 on 5/4/2020: At its peak now for me. Still the trademark farmyard funk. Plenty of mature gamey notes. Lovely traditional Côte Rotie (1374 views) | | | Tasted by mclanew on 11/5/2019 & rated 92 points: One hour decant. The is in a great place. Pretty nose of red fruits, smoked meats and herbs. The palate is fully mature, finely balanced with moderate tannins and strawberry, raspberry, smoked meat, spices and herb flavors coming through into a medium length finish. There is a touch of rusticity around the edges of this wine but overall it feels like a great classic traditionally made cote rotie while at the same time lacking a bit of the power and complexity needed to make it a superb wine. (1303 views) | | | Tasted by BBinSC on 8/2/2019 & rated 91 points: 90-92: vibrant, smoky, still lively acid. Palate is smokey with notes of almost-ripe blueberries. Long finish. Very good. (1082 views) | | | Tasted by Raage on 10/7/2018 & rated 90 points: Cd5 - Hermitage vs Côte Rotie à l'aveugle
Joli, rond, ample et assez élégant, avec un fruit encore assez frais, une belle tenue et une finale minérale un peu stricte. Mais le vin semble un peu contrit, fermé, timide, sur la réserve: L'aromatique est un peu simple et serrée, tout comme sa longueur en bouche, bien trop courte. Je pars sur un Hermitage 06 de Yann Chave.
Il devrait se bonnifier dans le temps car il parait plus jeune que son âge. Comme bon nombre de 2005, il passe sans doute par une phase de fermeture.
90/91++ (1619 views) | | | Tasted by pilot360 on 9/7/2018: Starts off with a full satisfying nose of smoke, bacon fat, subdued blueberries and violets. Eaugiful
Palate is quite acidic, pure to the core cherry, bitter cherry pits. Tannic and acidic, a bit out of balance. Not much savory on the palate.
Needs to be drunk with food. (1497 views) | | | Tasted by Gannet2013 on 6/21/2017: In a good drinking window, some tertiary notes but plenty of age left (as one would expect from this producer). Gourmand. (2362 views) | | | Tasted by valedeniro on 9/17/2016 & rated 89 points: Nice Syrah nose with violet,white pepper,spices ... It's light/medium bodied,with good acidity and a decent length on the clean finish.A good wine,but I expected more of it. (3072 views) | | | Tasted by Scottlmatthews on 5/4/2016 & rated 94 points: This totally gets better with time and a grilled rack of lamb. Yum. (3033 views) | | | Tasted by Gannet2013 on 9/30/2014 & rated 88 points: Still tight and young but temptation got the better of me in my enthusiasm/impatience to see how this was progressing. The first of a six pack and will wait at least a couple of years before checking back. A distinct lack of brett for a Burgaud. This currently shows blueberries, a hint of black olives and a lick of wet stone, ending in a grippy tannic finish. Quite simple currently whilst awaiting on the tertiary elements to emerge. Should improve and flesh out a little with age and those tannins should resolve. Good value. (3679 views) | | | Tasted by fdusonchet on 3/5/2014 & rated 87 points: Petit retenu acide décevant (4198 views) | | | Tasted by fdusonchet on 5/28/2013 & rated 90 points: Fin mais un peu léger (3962 views) | | | Tasted by BobJohnson1 on 4/21/2013: decent potential, but in an awkward place at the moment. (3471 views) | | | Tasted by spo on 3/3/2013 & rated 89 points: Mineral, earth, lavendar, some coffee and fruit in the background. Reserved, possibly closed. (3638 views) | | | Tasted by fdusonchet on 2/10/2013 & rated 90 points: Vin encore fermé (2549 views) | | | Tasted by AtoZ on 2/21/2012 & rated 89 points: Interesting but not highly pleasureable. A bit lacking all around. True cote rotie nose for sure. Some dirt / mud. Short finish. (2970 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 1/6/2011 & rated 91 points: At 28-50: smoky, funky nose, soft textured, layers of syrah, gorgeous (2792 views) | | | Tasted by saturnaisland on 11/23/2010 & rated 87 points: Aromas of muted dark fruit. Rich flavours of dark and red fruits. Smooth and mellow. Well integrated. But overall seems a bit flat. Lacks complexity. A pleasant straightforward wine, but I would not have picked it out blind as a Cote Rotie. (2866 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône)
Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
### 2017 vintage ###
"The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMESCôte-Rôtie Guide to Cote Rotie - Read about the Northern Rhone Valley
• The Appellation cover three communes - Saint-Cyr-sur-Rhône, Ampuis and Tupin-Semons - on the right Rhône river bank, within the Rhône "département".
• Soils : In the northern part of the vineyard, the Côte Brune, consists of extremely steep, terraced slopes of ferruginous mica schists which are covered with schist sand (arzel).The Côte Blonde has a varied geology with gneiss and granite predominating at the most southern side of the appellation.
• Climate : tempered continental. Dry, hot summers and frequent rainfalls during the other seasons. History : one of the oldest vineyards in France, first developed by the Romans. It is said that during the Middle Ages, "The Seigneur de Maugiron" bequeathed a hillside to each of his daughters, one was brunette and the other fair. Thus, were born the names of "Côte Brune" and "Côte Blonde".
• Area planted : 230 hectares (568 acres), for an annual production of 8,400 hectoliters (93,333 cases). Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2,3 US tons/acre).
• Grape Varieties : Syrah (80% minimum). An addition of up to 20% of Viognier grapes in the crop is allowed.
