Domaine Chambeyron - Côte-Rôtie - La Chavarine - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

A blend from two plots in the Chavaroche lieu-dit, the 2021 red Côte Rôtie La Chavarine remains a benchmark of the appellation, regardless of the vintage. This year again, the honest and pure juice finds its place within a finely carved structure where the oak remains subdued, allowing the fruit to fully express itself. It is thus a Syrah of elegance, framed by beautiful tannins, a complete and fresh wine, in perfect balance. It deserves a bit of patience and will ideally be opened at the end of the year and, of course, beyond, rated 93/100 by the Committee.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, 100% destemmed, regular pumping-over and trapping. Tangential filtration before bottling. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
