Cote Rôtie
''Brune
et Blonde"
E. Guigal
RP/Joe Czerwinski -
Guigal's 2015 Cote Rôtie Brune et Blonde boasts hallmark aromas of dried
flowers, herbs, raspberries and black olives. Medium to full-bodied,
it's simultaneously rich and silky, showing fine, balanced acidity on
the crisp finish. Considering it may account for as much as a third
of the appellation's volume, it's a remarkable achievement and testament
to the tremendous quality of the vintage. Even folks who buy and
cellar the La Las will want to have some of this in their cellars for
early drinking. |

Cote Rôtie
''La Mouline"
E. Guigal
RP/Joe Czerwinski - Floral aromas accent
sturdy notes of grilled meat and almost delicate notes of red berries in
the open, approachable 2014 Cote Rôtie La Mouline. Medium to
full-bodied, it shows great purity and a supple, silky, classic feel.
It's built more on elegance and complexity than power, with those
floral, herbal notes leaving a long, silky impression on the finish. |

Cote Rôtie Blonde
'La Chatillonne'
Vidal-Fleury
RP/Joe Czerwinski -
Showing a bit toasty and cedary at the moment, the
2015 Cote Rôtie la Chatillonne Cote Blonde should come into its own in
just a couple more years. It's medium to full-bodied with ample
concentration, a fantastic, velvety texture and grace notes of vanilla
and baking spices. It just needs some time to absorb its oak. |

Cote Rôtie Blonde
'La Chatillonne'
Vidal-Fleury
RP/Jeb Dunnuck -
A step up over the ’09, the 2010 Cote Rôtie Cote Blonde La Chatillonne
(88% Syrah and 12% Viognier) gives up a fabulous bouquet of violets,
rose petal, blackberry jam, game and hints of wild herbs that continues
to develop in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and finesse
driven on the palate, with a seamless texture, this gorgeous 2010
can be consumed now (preferably with a decant), or cellared for a decade
or more |

Crozes Hermitage 'Thalabert'
Paul Jaboulet Aine
RP/Joe Czerwinski -
A sample of the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Domaine de
Thalabert suggests this will be another good year. Lifted aromas of
peppered raspberries lead the way, followed by a wine that's
full-bodied, with well-ripened tannins, a lush, creamy mouthfeel and a
finish that just falls a little bit short of expectations. |
