Côte-Rotie 2014 - St Cosme
-
100% Serine (ancient syrah). Whole harvest. Schists in the localities of Le Plomb, La Viallière and Neve. Aged for twelve months: 50% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine Apart from Gigondas, Côte-Rôtie is the terroir of the valley of the Rhône that I prefer. Here, as in the most beautiful areas of Burgundy, the notion of terroir is exacerbated, powerful and obvious. The hillside made up of La Viallière, Le Plomb and Neve is the one that fascinates me: it has the capacity to express finesse and complexity while showing "simplicity". As in gastronomy and generally speaking in any artistic activity, the most difficult thing is to make beautiful simple things. The great terroirs of the Cote Rotie illustrate this reality to perfection. Our 2014 is a real concentrate of pleasure: a real trap for hedonists who will not be able to resist its seductive power for very long. Once again, the aromatic palette is a little journey: closing your eyes, you could well imagine yourself strolling through a rose garden whose scents would be exhaled by a spring sunshine. But you could also imagine entering an old family home at dawn, where the fire had been lit the night before. On the palate, it is sweetness and sapidity that dominate this year. The Cote Rotie is the only place in northern Rhône that is capable of producing such sweetness. Here, there is no such thing as austerity. This 2014 has grown during breeding, and one can only be happy when classicism is linked to pleasure in this way. Soot, smoked bacon, violet, graphite, cold ashes, old rose, licorice. Bottled without filtration.
