A blend of handpicked Syrah (97%) and Viognier (3%)
La Brocarde is a locality of the appellation located in Côte-Brune
Matured in French barriques for 26 months
Including 3% Viognier, the 2017 Côte Rôtie La Brocarde was destemmed and brought up all in new French oak. As with the Côte Rozier release, it brings the power and offers a rich, full-throttle bouquet of black fruits, chocolate, Asian spices, violets, and spring flowers. With obvious minerality, full-bodied richness, and a big mid-palate, it stays beautifully balanced and textured. It's drinkable today yet will be better in 3-5 years and have two decades or more of longevity. Drink: 2023-2043
