Domaine Chambeyron - Côte-Rôtie - La Chavarine - Red - 2022

Wine:

A blend of two parcels from the Chavaroche lieu-dit, the 2022 Red Côte-Rôtie La Chavarine remains a benchmark for the appellation, regardless of the vintage. Once again, it is an undeniable success, built around aromas of finely structured, perfectly ripe fruit. The palate follows suit with precision and balance, where every element is in harmony.
