The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Bonserine, a Northern Rhône Valley gem, masterfully produces deeply moving wines within its appellations. With a rich legacy of ancient vines and sophisticated aging processes, this estate seamlessly blends robustness with delicacy, presenting a nuanced wine portfolio.

Nestled among Côte Rôtie's most esteemed plots – Côte Blonde, Côte Brune, Moutonne, and Sarrasine – the vineyard thrives on Ampuis' age-old hillside terroirs, home to the local "serine" syrah strain. Equally impressive in Condrieu, Bonserine ensures the viognier varietal reaches its peak expression, maintaining the estate's esteemed reputation.
Wine The 2021 red Côte Rôtie La Sarrasine showcases a finesse and elegance that's beautifully defined. This graceful vintage offers a lush, velvety texture with silky tannins, unfolding delicate aromas of violet, graphite, pepper, and sweet spices. It's an exquisitely refined interpretation of Côte Rôtie, full of nuance and sophistication. Rated 93/100 by Olivier Poussier, the Best Sommelier in the World 2000.
Vinification Harvested by hand, aged in French oak demi-muid barrels, 60% of which are new, for 24 months.
