Yves Cuilleron Cote Rotie Madiniere 2020 0,75l

Yves Cuilleron Côte-Rôtie Madinière comes from Syrah vines in the northern part of the appellation, on steep south to south-east facing schist slopes. The vines are farmed sustainably, harvested by hand and traditionally vinified with an extended maceration. A period of ageing in oak barrels brings structure and polish without masking the fruit. The bouquet combines red and dark berries, cassis and blackberry with violet, smoky notes, bacon and a hint of clove. On the palate Madinière is juicy and full, with ripe fruit, velvety tannins and well-integrated acidity that keeps everything fresh. A harmonious, moreish Côte-Rôtie that works beautifully with beef, duck, roasted vegetables or richly flavoured oven dishes.

Ageing in French oak rounds out the Syrah fruit and brings together spice, freshness and harmonious tannins.
