Sample #1, from Lancement: Spicy red berries and flowers on the nose. Fresh and incisive, with bright raspberry and redcurrant flavors and mounting spiciness. This is the only component that Jamet showed me that wasn't fermented with whole clusters and all of this fruit was destemmed. #2, from Gerine: More pungent and smoky, with intense dark berry and incense aromas. Sweet and fruity on entry, then a firm mineral backbone and a peppery quality. #3, from Chavaroche, with a little Fontgeant: Exotic aromas and flavors of red berries and spices. More floral with air, picking up a sexy note of star anise. #4, from Mornachon: Deeper blackberry and cassis on the nose. Densely packed and powerful, with potent dark berry flavors and notes of woodsmoke and licorice. Serious tannic structure here. #5, from Le Plomb: Highly aromatic, offering rose and violet scents and a strong black raspberry quality. Spicy and precise, with expanding sweetness and very good clarity. #6, from Moutonne, with some Cote Baudin and Leyat: Highly aromatic, with deep dark berry preserve and floral oil qualities. Fresher with air, showing impressive fruit intensity and excellent length. #7, from La Landonne, with bits of Cote Blonde, Cote Rozier and Moutonne: Seductive aromas of black raspberry and potpourri become spicier with aeration. Lively but concentrated red and dark fruit flavors, with a smoky, musky note that builds with air. Very long and powerful. The final blend looks to be a deeply fruity and spicy wine, with solid tannic structure and excellent minerality. There's a lot of dark fruit here, and impressive freshness, but no sensation of excess weight or fat.Inc. TAX€2,741.77 -

A tasting of component barrels for this wine made for an instructive view of the vintage. Certain sites show the lightness of the vintage, fresh and peppery. Others, such as Bonnivières and Tartaras, exhibited the rigid, austere tannins that are quite common in 2021. Few barrels had great concentration or generosity of fruit; this is a vintage about structure and minerality rather than concentration or fruit sweetness. I would be inclined to leave this for a substantial amount of time before broaching, around 2031, by which time it should show good complexity and terroir expression, and may well be worthy of a higher score. All whole-bunch fermented, and matured mostly in old demi-muids.Inc. TAX€1,693.46 -

Confirming expectations, the 2019 Cote Rotie Cote Brune stands out as one of the finest wines of the vintage. Aromas of violet, roses, black tea, tapenade and spices unfurl from the glass with striking clarity. The wine on the palate is full-bodied, dense and concentrated, revealing a powerful mid-palate and a fleshy core of fruit, all framed by silky, precise and delicate tannins. It culminates in a licorice-tinged, ethereal and seemingly endless finish. A masterful combination of power and finesse, this wine is built to age gracefully over the next 30 years.Inc. TAX€690.10 -

Beautifully fragrant and floral, showing rose and violet characters. Super-fine, silky tannins and lovely acidity, this is an eminently classic Côte Brune, with flowers, cinnamon, black olive, rosemary and perfectly ripe, bright blackberries. It has a tapered finish - not the same concentration and power as 2019 - but with great finesse and elegance of expression. Beautifully balanced and very hard to fault.Inc. TAX€3,812.63

A tasting of component barrels for this wine made for an instructive view of the vintage. Certain sites show the lightness of the vintage, fresh and peppery. Others, such as Bonnivières and Tartaras, exhibited the rigid, austere tannins that are quite common in 2021. Few barrels had great concentration or generosity of fruit; this is a vintage about structure and minerality rather than concentration or fruit sweetness. I would be inclined to leave this for a substantial amount of time before broaching, around 2031, by which time it should show good complexity and terroir expression, and may well be worthy of a higher score. All whole-bunch fermented, and matured mostly in old demi-muids.In Bond€1,370.00 -

Vinous (95-96)
Inky ruby. An explosively perfumed bouquet displays scents of spicy red and dark berries, olive tapenade, pipe tobacco, iodine and minerals. Spicy blackberry, cassis and bitter chocolate are complicated by hints of violet pastille and smoky Indian spices. Gains weight with air but maintains vivacity on the long, juicy and youthfully tannic finish.In Bond€1,895.00 -

Wine Advocate (100)
Confirming expectations, the 2019 Cote Rotie Cote Brune stands out as one of the finest wines of the vintage. Aromas of violet, roses, black tea, tapenade and spices unfurl from the glass with striking clarity. The wine on the palate is full-bodied, dense and concentrated, revealing a powerful mid-palate and a fleshy core of fruit, all framed by silky, precise and delicate tannins. It culminates in a licorice-tinged, ethereal and seemingly endless finish. A masterful combination of power and finesse, this wine is built to age gracefully over the next 30 years.In Bond€572.00 -
Decanter (99)
Beautifully fragrant and floral, showing rose and violet characters. Super-fine, silky tannins and lovely acidity, this is an eminently classic Côte Brune, with flowers, cinnamon, black olive, rosemary and perfectly ripe, bright blackberries. It has a tapered finish - not the same concentration and power as 2019 - but with great finesse and elegance of expression. Beautifully balanced and very hard to fault.In Bond€3,155.00
