Vintages 2010

Wine Advocate #210 - Dec 2013

Score : (98-100)

Scheduled to be bottled in February of 2014, the 2010 Cote Rotie La Landonne is a more fresh, pure and focused example of the 2009. While it doesn’t have the over the top exuberance of the prior vintage, it offers incredibly pure, detailed and classic aromas and flavors of black pepper, currants, blackberry, mineral and smoked bacon fat. Full-bodied, layered and deeply concentrated, yet also graceful and seamless, this knockout effort should require a decade to come around and have 3-4 decades of longevity. Jeb Dunnuck.

 

Bettane+Desseauve

Score : 19/20

Personnalité aromatique inoubliable avec des notes de poivron rouge mûr façon cabernet-sauvignon idéal. Corps monumental, éclat intense en rétro-olfaction, un chef d’œuvre insurpassé dans ce millésime.
