Expertly crafted in Rhone, France, Garon Cote Rotie Les Triotes 2018 exemplifies premium quality winemaking. Conceived within the treasured Cote Rotie appellation, this iconic Syrah is the culmination of a remarkable terroir and inherited generational expertise. Jean-Francois Garon oversaw the manual harvest, further ensuring the grapes were exceedingly high- quality upon selection. The wine undergoes an extended maceration period before ageing in French oak for 18 months, imparting it with layers of complex flavours and exquisite tannin structure. The resulting Garon Cote Rotie Les Triotes 2018 is mystifying; dark garnet in colour, it whispers notes of black fruit, spice and a lick of smoky minerality. The palate is met with rich, voluptuous tannins balanced by a wave of fresh fruit and an enduring finish. It's an opulent expression of the renowned Garon family vineyards - a pleasure to divulge in now or mature for future enjoyment. |
