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). |

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. |

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. |
