Set on a ripe, generous vintage, the 2022 Red Côte-Rôtie Carmina avoids the overly sunny traits of the year thanks to tireless efforts in the vineyard and winery. Showcasing pure, flavorful fruit, this Syrah reveals its full character with a sapid, rich texture that’s already delicious, yet built for long aging. A superb wine to enjoy in 4-5 years and for a decade or more. |

Hand-harvested, with partial de-stemming. The grapes undergo a maceration process lasting around 20 days. The wine is then aged in wooden vats, demi-muids, and barrels for 18 to 24 months. |
