Possessing additional richness, the 2009 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde boasts rocking cassis, scorched earth and chocolate to go with more classic cured meats, mineral and violet-like nuances that emerge with time in the glass. Full-bodied, gorgeously pure, with a core of sweet fruit, it too will totally thrill over the coming decade or more. Jeb Dunnuck

A rich, fleshy style, offering lots of pastis-soaked plum, blackberry and currant fruit at the core, backed by ganache and singed juniper notes that add texture and length on the finish, with a terrific iron spine. Should age nicely. Best from 2015 through 2030. James Molesworth.

La progression de cette cuvée est étonnante malgré son volume impressionnant de 300 000 bouteilles. On retrouve la classe des assemblages d’il y a trente ans avec plus de précision et de pureté aromatique. Archétype de l’appellation : seul un grand assemblage peut donner ce sentiment.
