Côte Rôtie ‘mordorée’ Michel Chapoutier 2016

The CÔTE RÔTIE ‘MORDORÉE’ MICHEL CHAPOUTIER 2017 is a stunning red wine from the Côte Rôtie appellation in the northern Rhône Valley of France. It is made from 100% Syrah grapes that are grown on schist and granite soils. The wine has a deep, dark color with garnet reflections. The nose is complex and intense, with aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and cassis, as well as hints of spice, pepper, and minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish. It has a great aging potential and can be enjoyed for many years to come.
