Marie et Pierre Bénetière
Cordeloux Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France

After a rough stretch of vintages (14,15,16) for this producer, 2017 has it returned to form showcasing the unique Burgundian style to Côte-Rôtie that had it gain such a following early on. It wafts its stemmy spice aromatics with beef jerky, violets and and black pepper. It shows weightless intensity on the palate with a spine of minerality giving it lift and focus. Cordeloux is a tremendous success in 2017.

Declassified vintage. Atypical but still delicious.

A Cote rotie in VdF clothing. You can see the original sticker ghosted in the background when they didn’t get paperwork in to the AOP in time. Plenty of olive and bacon aromas. Ripe fruit on this 2015.

From the minimally produced, minimally exported Bénetière. Bright, fresh and ultra focused with a beautiful elegant floral nose, boysenberry, granite, hints of black pepper and Burgundy-like stems. The finish is long and finessed. One day I have to try the Dolium! 😁
