"The 2014 CĂ´te-RĂ´tie âCĂ´te Bruneâ from Gilles and Julien Barge is a great young wine in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and properly reticent out of the blocks, offering up a nascently complex blend of black raspberries, smoked meats, youthful stems, a touch of black olive, a marvelous base of stony soil tones, pepper and a topnote of bonfire. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with stunning soil signature, a lovely core, firm, chewy tannins and absolutely superb length and grip on the very well-balanced, complex and youthful finish. This will need at least a dozen years in the cellar to start to blossom and twenty-plus years would be even better, but in the fullness of time, this will be an utterly classic and superb example of the great vineyard of CĂ´te Brune."

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.
