A fresh, aerial, violet-scented style, though it’s introverted for now. It has exceptionally fine tannins – very similar to La Viallière in style. It’s well balanced, the acidity is high and the tannins are quite generous. A mineral style. Lieu-dit Neve, south of La Viallière, rocky mica schist soils.

92-94 The 2021 Cote Rotie Neve features aromas of violets and crushed stone, a lovely array of flowers, blueberries and raspberries. It's just medium-bodied, a bit harder and more tart than the Mordorée bottling, finishing with boysenberry and cranberry notes and some tea-like tannins.

An elegant, savory red, with a cool vintage signature of white pepper and a pronounced herbal thread. Singed bacon fat and smokiness hovers around plum and graphite. Shows impressive textural complexity and balance, with finely polished tannins and a lovely lavender smoke note that plays out through the refined finish. Drink now through 2040. 10 cases imported.

One of top wines in the vintage, the 2021 Côte Rôtie Nève comes from a single lieu-dit in the northern part of the appellation and was 85% destemmed and brought up in 30% new barrels. Gorgeous redcurrant and black raspberry-like fruit, spring flowers, and lots of minerality define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with ripe, firm yet polished tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. Give it a few years and it should keep for 15 years or so.

Varietal: Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

Region: Rhone Valley

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
