Full ruby. Fresh, mineral-accented dark berries, olive and potpourri on the intensely perfumed nose. Supple and broad in the mouth; gently sweet blackberry and floral pastille flavors are enlivened by zesty acidity and a hint of peppery spices. Closes supple, smoky and very long, with hints of spicecake and cola and youthfully firm tannins that add shape and grip.Inc. VAT£414.26 -
Wine Advocate (93-95)
Still aging in demi-muids, the 2016 Cote Rotie Cote Brune is going to be a terrific wine. Yes, it has some cedar and brown sugar touches, but it also has wonderfully ripe red berries to support the oak. Medium to full-bodied, it's creamy and lush on the palate, with lingering espresso notes on the long finish.Inc. VAT£113.84 -
(12x75cl) 2019Acclaimed sommeliers often describe the Gilles Barge Cote-Rotie Cote Brune 2019 as the epitome of perfectly crafted Old World wine. This modest, family-run domain in Côte Rôtie has been producing wines of unparalleled finesse since the mid-19th century. Gilles Barge took over from his father in the 1970s, relying on the traditional winemaking methods of the region to cultivate extraordinary fruit. Made predominantly from Syrah grapes, enriched with up to 20% Viognier, the wine was aged for 24-30 months in oak barrels. The result is a masterpiece — a robust body, marked by primal, savoury notes indicative of Côte Rôtie terroir, and layered harmoniously with spiced red fruits. Gilles Barge Cote-Rotie Cote Brune 2019 is indeed a quintessential expression of its regional origins, adorned with an evocative bouquet of intense aromas and complex undertones. A truly inspiring addition for seasoned oenophiles and casual wine enthusiasts alike.
