The Character

Overall Elegant & Complex
Aromas Violets, wild berries, resin, candied lavender, bacon
Mouthfeel Concentrated yet Energetic
Tasting Notes An intensely perfumed nose displays mineral-accented black/blue fruit and floral pastille scents that pick up olive paste, bacon and exotic spice notes with air. In a concentrated yet energetic style, offering appealingly sweet cherry, blueberry, licorice, spice-cake and candied lavender flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows outstanding clarity and mineral thrust on a wonderfully long, floral-accented finish shaped by fine-grained, slow-building tannins.
Pairings Roasted duck, lamb with rosemary, or mushroom risotto
Awards 2018 - 96pts AG

The Story

Drawn from old vines in the famed Landonne lieu-dit. More subtle, elegant, and "quieter" than the Chavaroche.

About Bernard Levet

Producer Story

A small range of three Côte-Rôtie is made by the Ampuis based Levet family at their domaine, founded in 1929. Bernard Levet’s daughter Agnès has joined him and as elsewhere a new generation brings fresh impetus and an overhaul particularly of winemaking. The wines here though very much retain their traditional approach and are full of depth and character but also finely crafted and well made. The Levets have small plots spread across a number of sites with just over 4 ha under vine. The vine age varies but much of the vineyard is over 70 years of age, providing great intensity in the fruit. The vinification regime is to some extent driven by the wine and vine age.
