Oct 20th, 2024A 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.

Apr 2nd, 2022From 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! 😁
