but possesses many attributes
classically dry and quite primary
and a hint of bright lemon
quinine and roots
This builds nicely in the mouth and the finish exhibits fine cohesion and sappiness
Jean-Michel Stephan Côte-Rôtie "Coteaux de Bassenon" 2018 6x 2018 sku_2160013 but possesses many attributesThe grapes are harvested by hand at low yields. Vinification: after carbonic maceration, with no added sulphur, the wine is matured 24 months in old oak barrels from the Tronais forest. Neither fined nor filtered, and no added sulphites. A powerful, complex nose of cherry pits and blackcurrant, with floral, smoky, and rosemary notes. On the palate: complexity, charm, purity, smoothness, minerality, and phenomenal length.
