Tasting by Joe Czerwinski: "Launched in 2018, this parcel selection is made entirely from whole bunches. The 2020 Cote Rotie Coteaux de Tupin looks to be another complete success, with wonderful floral aromas and lots of purple raspberries on the nose. The palate is quite full-bodied, with a silky texture and a long, mouth-watering finish."

• Origin: place called "Côte-Rôtie Coteaux de Tupin".
• Soil: terraced vines resting on a gneiss bedrock.
• Grape variety : 100% Syrah
• Extended ageing: 26 months in barrels. Only one thousand units.
• Comment : This confidential parcel-based cuvée comes from the so-called "Coteaux de Tupin". The very high proportion of whole harvest brings to this wine, 100% syrah, character and relief. An iron hand in a velvet glove, the "Coteaux de Tupin" cuvée perpetuates in our eyes the tradition of the great Côte-Rôtie wines for laying down.
• Tasting : On the nose, you will find those smoky and liquorice aromas that have made the reputation of Côte-Rôtie. In the mouth, white pepper and mentholated notes are obvious. The tannins are virile but the texture in mouth is bewitching. This cuvée has a real structure and is undeniably well suited for ageing.
