"The finest Côte-Rôtie Chapoutier has produced since 1991, the dense purple-hued 2003 Côte-Rôtie La MordorÊe reveals a sumptuous perfume of new saddle leather, barbecued meats, herbs, black raspberries, and crème de cassis. This stunningly concentrated, full-bodied, rich wine takes Côte-Rôtie to a new quality level. Sadly, there are only 330 cases of this elixir."

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.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
