2022 Côte-Rôtie Maison Rouge, Georges Vernay

2022 Côte-Rôtie Maison Rouge, Georges Vernay

From the lieu-dit Maison Rouge, this Côte-Rôtie from 50 year old vines is characterised by its combination of power with elegance. Pure, pronounced blackberry fruit and violet are supported by spicy aromas. Beautifully structured on the palate with silky, smooth tannins and toasted notes (from 24 months in oak) on the long, persistent finish. This has almost Cornas-like tannins in their granitic spikiness. A long, savoury, traditional style. Remarkably saline. Will be complex and energetic throughout its long life.
