Not Côte-Rôtie of the Northern Rhône fame, mofos. That’s shiraz (or syrah, more appropriately) cty. This is another “roasted slopeâ€ÂÂÂ, sunny all the same, this time in Burgundy, where grows some chardy. Hailing from one of the true bastions of the Old World, you’d expect some serious elegance to this beauty and it does not disappoint. That’s not to say it’s austere, though. There’s a surprisingly juicy, peach-rich palate, backed by 30% new oak and a perfectly-judged touch of lees stirring. Balance is key, and that’s where this shines. There’s room for ageing, but all the components are in the right spot from the outset. A very tasty spot indeed.
