What to Expect

Like its neighbor across the river, Hermitage, Côte-rôtie is a small vineyard whose red wine production is based on the Syrah grape. Unlike in Hermitage, where the wine is all Syrah, some Viognier, an aromatic white grape variety, is frequently added to Côte-rôtie to help add some complexity on the nose. Literally "the roasted slope", the Côte-rôtie is a Southern-facing subtly concave hillside carved into a ridge overlooking the Rhone River. This natural amphitheatre serves to capture the warm of the passing sun and allows the grapes of Côte-rôtie to achieve an added level of richness when compared with its neighbors. This may explain why the region has been famous for wine for over two millennia. The steep slopes of the Côte-rôtie produce a rich, velvety, deep wine with subtle smoky, bacon fat and flower tinged aromatics over an opulent base of roasted blackberry and plum fruits.
