Domaine Christophe Pichon
Promesse Côte-Rôtie Syrah Blend
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Fun “value” for Côte Rôtie, an appellation that always seems to deplete my savings account with ease. No, this will not change your life, but I think it’s an honest wine, if anything you can argue there’s a little too much oak, but nothing offensive. In fact, it really starting to integrate, the time in bottle is treating this nicely and I suspect that it will being pleasure for a few more years easily. The nose is classic, pepper, spice, beef blood and mesquite, then coffee, bramble, crushed granite and sweet wood emerge. Palate is taught, fine tannins hold their grip, acid is edgy. The mouthfeel is compact, wound and absolutely screams to be at the table. Fun wine that scratches that CRôtie itch.
