FEATURES

🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【The 2012 Stephane Montez Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places is a bold and structured Cote Rotie from a renowned producer, showcasing intense dark fruit, earthy notes, and a long, persistent finish.】 This Syrah, typically with a small percentage of Viognier (97% Syrah & 3% Viognier for this vintage), offers intense aromas of black fruit like blackcurrant, blueberry, and prune, alongside smoky peat, mint, and laurel. The palate reveals great depth, with tight yet melted tannins, leading to a long and persistent finish. Expect notes of white pepper, black pepper, blackberry, sour cherry, rhubarb, and menthol, supported by medium acidity and medium-plus tannins. Reviewers also find dark raspberry compote, a delicious white pepper character, a hint of saline, sour strawberry, a mineral outline, herbal notes, and white flowers. Earthy notes of leather, smoke, graphite, oak, coffee, and dark chocolate are also present. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This robust Cote Rotie is an excellent companion for rich, savory dishes. Pair it with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, game meats like venison or duck, or even hearty poultry dishes. For an Asian-inspired meal, consider Cantonese braised beef brisket, Peking duck, or a flavorful mushroom and truffle hotpot. 🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion, or a vertical tasting of Northern Rhône Syrah. This wine is showing beautifully now with 10 years of age, but still has a long life ahead, making it a great candidate for further cellaring.
