Côte Rôtie Cote Brune 2016

As normal, the 2016 Côte Rôtie Côte Brune is like the classic Côte Rôtie only slightly more dark fruited and concentrated, and yet also more seamless and elegant, with Jean-Paul always describing this cuvée as more feminine (I’m not sure I agree with him on that point). It has fabulous density in its assorted dark fruits, olive tapenade, bacon fat, and smoked earth aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, seamless, pure, and yet beautifully concentrated, it’s another incredible, classic 2016 that will benefit from short-term cellaring and age gracefully.
