Cote Rôtie
Chateau d'Ampuis
(E. Guigal)

RP/Joe Czerwinski -
Smoky, briary and complex, the 2018 Cote Rôtie Chateau d'Ampuis spent 38 months in new oak, yet it still exudes notes of blackberries and blueberries, testament to the wine's ample concentration. It's full-bodied and rich yet silky and long, with hints of mocha and brown sugar appearing on the finish. It's another beautiful vintage of this cuvée, which combines fruit from seven different parcels (three on the Cote Blonde and four on the Cote Brune).
2018 £69.00 RP/JC95+

Cote Rôtie
Chateau d'Ampuis
(E. Guigal)

RP/Joe Czerwinski -
A big step up over the 2017 Brune & Blonde (which I rated 91 points back in May 2021), Guigal's 2017 Cote Rôtie Chateau d'Ampuis epitomizes the appellation, with sexy complexities of smoky bacon fat interlaced with skeins of blueberries and cherries. Full-bodied, creamy and lush in feel, finishing long and succulent, it's a terrific Cote Rôtie to drink over the next 20 years.
2017 £74.00 RP/JC95

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.
2015 £63.00 RP/JC94
