Chateauneuf du Pape 2010 La Côte Ronde - Paul Autard
94/100 Parker
"A true favorite, the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée La Côte Ronde reveals a subtle note of toasted oak on the nose, beautifully integrated with aromas of kirsch, grilled Provençal herbs, espresso, and blackcurrant. This powerful, masculine, and rich wine possesses silky tannins and a lovely harmony between structure and acidity. A great wine for aging."
La Côte Ronde by Paul Autard is a characterful Châteauneuf-du-Pape, celebrated for its aromatic depth and natural elegance. The wine often displays layers of ripe dark fruits, sweet spices, cocoa and hints of garrigue, all wrapped in a smooth, generous texture. Its structure is firm yet balanced, with polished tannins and well-managed warmth, creating a harmonious and expressive cuvée that reflects the best of its terroir.
With aeration, La Côte Ronde reveals even greater complexity, showing notes of stewed fruits, licorice, subtle smoky tones and a long, enveloping finish. It is a wine that shines alongside flavorful dishes and deserves to be enjoyed slowly to unveil its full richness. Its ageing potential is excellent, developing truffle and leather nuances over time while maintaining remarkable elegance.
