Delectable says it’s the white but it was the the red - interesting Folle Noire local red grape. Almost an edge of cab franc to this with Bordeaux cedar on the palate. Drunk at the chateau on the terrace by the chapel after a tour of their cellars. — a year ago
Nice nose with some alcohol. Delicious flavors of cherry jam and nice tannins. I love ripasso-style wines and this was a good one. It may have been a little much with our eclectic ham and tamales Christmas dinner. But everyone loved. Thank you to Agnes M. for this nice gift. I’ll be buying more. — 3 years ago
This is the standard Côte Rôtie from Agnes Levet that’s a blend of different parcels. However, the philosophy and approach remain the same as “La Chavaroche” and “Les Journaries”. In the past, this bottling was known as “Améthyste” and only recently became more widely available in the US. “Widely” is a relative word, lol.
Opened about an hour prior to service. The 2021 pours a deep garnet/purple with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a gorgeous bouquet all of the different varieties and colors of brambles your heart could possibly desire along with all of the seeds and stems, freshly cracked black pepper, dried herbs, some of the animale, purple flowers some hints of old wood and yes, perhaps a kiss of brettanomyces. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is forever long, drying and loaded with even more black pepper. This is giving me total 2014 vibes and if you liked that vintage in the Northern Rhône (as I did), you’re gonna absolutely love this. Drink now through 2036. — a month ago

Bevuto 2024. Assolutamente un'annata definitiva. Un tannino esplosivo, un acidità che resiste al tannino, una bella bellissima sapidità e una morbidezza ancora blanda, che diverta immensa.

Già più maturo rispetto a 2016 o 2015. La siccità è stata ben gestita, rimane ti incredibile bevinilitá e l'alcool 15,5 gestito ottimamente. — 2 years ago
