Maison Rouge 2017

"""Made from old Syrah vines in the area known as Maison Rouge, this Côte-Rôtie is structured, fine and elegant. With a black purple ruby color, subtly full-bodied, this wine with amazing scents of black fruits, oriental spices, and smoke, expresses assertive tannins, a silky and seductive mouth. It develops sumptuous notes of licorice, cigar box."" A sustained, dense, deep, black purple ruby robe, highlighted by a beautiful brightness, a shine and a pleasant, tight, supple and not heavy hammering. A clean, clear, frank bouquet, still a little restrained, in which the Syrah, the grape variety of excellence of the Côte Rôtie AOC, and the Maison Rouge parcel, under the control of Christine Vernay, express themselves. At present, there are floral and fruity aromas of violet, peony, dalhia, blueberry and wild blackberry, in harmony with a touch of black pepper and fresh truffle. A high quality woody taste, well mastered and of a rare elegance. On the palate, we find a youthful temperament, alert and dynamic, a beautiful tension, ripe tannins of great finesse that are smooth and pleasant, a beautiful structure, full and fleshy, expressing a beautiful frankness of taste and an exemplary harmony."
