A plot-based cuvée produced in small quantities, the 2020 red Côte Rôtie Neve is a pure Syrah from a special terroir, a schist and micaschist hillside in the commune of Ampuis, with south-southeast exposure. Combining structure and finesse with sublime intensity, it abounds in black fruit, graphite and spice aromas, in a powerful, rich and precise body. |
