"Brilliant ruby. Highly perfumed red and dark berry aromas are complemented by hints of candied flowers and incense. Pure and focused on the palate, offering sweet black raspberry and cherry cola flavors in a suave combination of depth and vivacity. Picks up a spicy quality with air, which carries through a very long, supple finish shaped by slow-building tannins. I underestimated this wine from barrel. While both the 2014s and the 2013s from Burgaud will age well, Bernard told me that "the '13 is the one you'll want to have the most patience with." Burgaud's CĂ´te-RĂ´tie is a deceptively cellar-worthy wine that ages nicely on its balance, and I think many people underestimate it because it never shows forbidding tannins or overt structure. Itâs one of the most immediately accessible wines of the appellation and rarely goes through a dumb or sullen stage, even in years like 2005 and 2010."

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.
