Cote Rotie
The concept of blending some white grape into red wine is now widely used worldwide. Serving the purpose to add extra perfume and aromas to the wine, it was originated in Côte-Rôtie. Whether Viognier supplements the Syrah or not, these are the most elegant wines in the Rhône, it is silky and refined, with different styles made from the sandy Côte Blonde and the irony clay Côte Brune.

Wine Advocate (100)Just as good, but made in a completely different style, the 2009 Cote Rotie la Mouline (which incorporates a whopping 11% of Viognier) offers an insane bouquet of roasted meats, toast, spice, caramelized meats, coffee bean and deep, concentrated and layered blackberry and cassis-styled fruit. As with the 2010, it has off-the-chart richness, a stacked mid-palate and a gorgeous polish to its tannin. Give it another 3 to 4 years and drink it over the following 2-3 decades. |

Wine Advocate (97)The 2012 Côte Rôtie La Mouline reminds me of the 2011 with its upfront, incredibly perfumed nose of spring flowers, cured meats, roasted herbs, olives and sweet cassis fruit. Full-bodied, beautifully textured, mouth-filling and already impossible to resist, it expands on the palate and I guarantee this beauty will put a smile on your face anytime over the coming two decades. |

Jeb Dunnuck (99)Just about pure perfection as well as a desert Island wine, the 2018 Côte Rôtie La Mouline comes from a tiny parcel in the Côte Blonde lieu-dit and spent four years in new barrels. Incredible notes of black raspberries, spring flowers, bacon fat, smoked game, violets, and pepper all emerge on the nose. These carry to a full-bodied, round, supple, sexy Côte Rôtie offering ultra-fine tannins, an insane level of purity, no hard edges, and a monster of a finish. As with the other 2018s here, it leads with its fruit and has a supple, ethereal style on the palate. It doesn't have the sheer wealth of material or density of the 2010, 2015, or 2019, but it’s possibly a slightly richer, sexier version of the 2016. Hide bottles for just 4-5 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following two decades or so. |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)Leading off the three single parcel releases, the 2019 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is an absolute blockbuster of a wine that has incredible depth, richness, and concentration while holding onto a rare sense of elegance, balance, and seamlessness. Incredible floral and orange blossom notes give way to more smoked game, tapenade, sweet black raspberries, and subtle vanilla. This full-bodied, utterly heavenly Côte Rôtie is more reserved and straight compared to the 2018, but it nevertheless already offers a huge amount of pleasure. It will hit maturity in 7-8 years (a decade will probably be better) and have 30+ years of overall longevity. |

Vinous (96-98)Dense ruby color. Powerful, expressive aromas of cherry preserves, wild strawberry, plum, pipe tobacco, Asian spices and licorice pastille. Almost exaggerated in its expression of cherry in every form imaginable: griotte, jammy, candied, medicinal. Lush and thick but enlivened by tangy, redder fruit qualities, as well as by a strong note of iodine. This has remarkable intensity, balance and depth, finishing with a vibrant note of candied violet and silky tannins. |

Wine Advocate (100)The 2005 Cote Rotie la Turque is utterly profound, and a desert island wine if there ever was one. Crème de cassis, blackcurrants, chocolate, barbecued meats and bacon fat all literally soar from the glass of this full-bodied, structured, perfectly balanced Cote Rotie that doesn’t have a hair out of place. It’s just now at the early stages of drinkability and will benefit from 2-4 more years in the cellar, and keep for 2-3 decades after that. |

Almost exaggerated in its expression of cherry in every form imaginable: griotte, jammy, candied, medicinal. Lush and thick but enlivened by tangy, redder fruit qualities, as well as by a strong note of iodine. This has remarkable intensity, balance and depth, finishing with a vibrant note of candied violet and silky tannins. |

Wine Advocate (100)The 2005 Cote Rotie la Turque is utterly profound, and a desert island wine if there ever was one. Crème de cassis, blackcurrants, chocolate, barbecued meats and bacon fat all literally soar from the glass of this full-bodied, structured, perfectly balanced Cote Rotie that doesn’t have a hair out of place. It’s just now at the early stages of drinkability and will benefit from 2-4 more years in the cellar, and keep for 2-3 decades after that. |

The concept of blending some white wine in to red to bring added perfume is now widely used worldwide, but it was in Cote Rotie where the concept originated. Whether Viognier supplements the Syrah or not, these are the most elegant wines in the Rhone, silky and refined, with different styles made from the sandy Cote Blonde and the irony clay Cote Brune.
