Notes

Once part of the classic Côte-Rôtie blend, the 27-year-old vines of La Viaillère are starting to produce such outstanding wine that Clusel-Roch, as of 2009, have started to bottle it up as a separate cuvée. Intense and so charming, this offers ripe, classy flavours of juicy ripe cherries, hints of rose petal, loganberry and raspberry, finishing on touches of Asian spice and peppercorn. Such a mix of sweetness, finesse and freshness. Exquisite.

Notes

Inky ruby. Blackberry, cassis and candied flowers on the seductively perfumed nose and in the mouth. Fresh and energetic, with excellent clarity and back-end lift. Becomes spicier with air and finishes extremely long, vibrant and gently tannic, leaving suave violet pastille and spicecake notes behind.
