Domaine Cuilleron Côte-Rôtie - Madinière Rouge 2021

Wine:

Originating from the beautiful schist terroirs in the northern part of the appellation, the 2021 red Côte Rôtie Madinière provides a flawless representation of the appellation. Comprising 95% Syrah, the wine unfolds a nose of great concentration, marked by fresh leather and blackberry jam, with oak perfectly integrated with this intense fruit. The palate is full-bodied, with tannins that frame a gathered and pulpy core. This wine is destined for aging, a robust wine that would benefit from a couple of years in the cellar or decanting. It also demonstrates that the 2021 vintage is not just about an old-fashioned style of finesse and freshness; the age of the vines and the maturity of the harvest must have been crucial in shaping the profile of this exemplary Côte Rôtie. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
