"The 1995 Cote Rotie reveals a deep color, a classic structure, with obvious acidity, high tannin, and good alcohol. It has not yet developed the telltale bacon fat, smoky aromas, but there is plenty of cassis fruit. . . .Once again, it is an excellent, stylish, medium-bodied Cote Rotie that is tightly knit but promising."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
