The estate and the wine |
|
|
Situated in the heart of the prestigious Côte Rôtie terroir, Domaine François & Fils crafts refined and characterful cuvées. With just 4 hectares, their limited production has certainly caught the attention of our experts... |

Born in the heart of Côte Brune from vines ranging from 10 to 60 years old, the 2022 Côte-Rôtie Red is the Committee’s unconditional favorite, rated 94/100. The pure, concentrated nose opens with beautiful smoky notes and a subtle hint of bacon. On the palate, this impressive dimension continues, with a smooth, aromatic structure framed by the refined elegance of its aging. A stunning bottle, built to age for 10 years or more, and an exceptional achievement, especially at this price point! A true feat from such a coveted terroir. |
