Selected from the very best vineyard slopes of Côte Rôtie, the Vallouit Côte Rôtie Voniere 1999 is indeed the quintessence of traditional Rhône wine-making. The meticulous selection of Syrah grapes epitomises over a century of experience that Vallouit brings to the craft, reflecting the deep, loamy soil and moderate climate in the Rhône valley. What sets Vallouit apart, however, is their allegiance to vinification in old oak barrels, a technique that imparts woody, rustic notes and a profound complexity to the wine. This 1999 vintage encapsulates an enigmatic ruby-hued potion with blackcurrant and berry fringes, enriched by hints of smokey spice. Vallouit Côte Rôtie Voniere 1999 offers a highly concentrated palate, complementing the intense, fruit-forward nose and underscored by rounded, yet distinct, velvety tannins. It is a commanding bottle worthy of patience and contemplation- a testament to Vallouit's exceptional savoir-faire. |
