Viallière 2020: 96+/100 (Jeb Dunnuck*) One of the cuvées The most mineral, the Côte-Rôtie La Viallière 2020 offers an aromatic framework of red and black fruits along with floral notes of violet and rose, following the typical profile of a Côte-Rôtie with fleshy nuances. Tannic, vibrant, and straight with perfect balance and plenty of density. It will need 4-5 years of bottle aging and will evolve over the next two decades. MATURITY: 2028-2049.

Montmain 2020: 95/100 (Jeb Dunnuck*) Like the Cognet, the Côte-Rôtie Montmain 2020 comes from a bridge in the northern part of the appellation and is fermented with its stems. It is not far from the style of Cognet but reveals itself to be even more floral and elegant. Black raspberries, iron, and old flowers present themselves on the nose. The palate is elegant and silky with ultra-fine tannins. This Côte-Rôtie will offer a beautiful tasting experience over the next 15-20 years. MATURITY: 2024-2044.

Bertholon 2020: 96/100 (Jeb Dunnuck*) : The parcel from which the Côte-Rôtie Bertholon 2020 originates contains a lot of clay in its mica schists. Fermented with its stems, it offers a magnificent aromatic profile centered around smoky black fruits, tapenade, and iron, with a beautiful structure that is rich, powerful, and full-bodied. This Côte-Rôtie will need some time to mature in the bottle but already shows its great potential.
MATURITY: 2028-2050.

Côte Bodin 2020: 94/100 (Jeb Dunnuck*) : Coming from a plot located further south of La Landonne, the Côte-Rôtie Côte-Bodin 2020, following the style of a Côte Blonde, offers a very floral and fruity aromatic profile ranging from red fruits (strawberries, raspberries) to violet and rose petals. Notes of tapenade, iron, and spices also emerge. It is a medium to full-bodied wine with beautiful acidity and soft tannins, in the Burgundian style. MATURITY: 2024-2044.

But De Mont 2020:

Le Champon 2020: 97/100 (Jeb Dunnuck*) : Coming from the plot that is always harvested last, the Côte-Rôtie Le Champon 2020 was fermented with the stems and, like most Côte-Rôties, aged in demi-muids. It is a cuvée of incredible elegance that showcases aromas of black fruits, iron, black olive, and truffle with a hint of floral notes. Full-bodied, structured, and flawless, it offers a finely tuned acidity, soft tannins, and a
beautiful finish on the palate. Concentrated and tight, it will need bottle aging to reveal its true potential. MATURITY: 2028-2049.

Leyat 2020: 97/100 (Jeb Dunnuck*) : Situated just above Côte-Bodin (near Fongeant), the Côte-Rôtie Leyat 2020 showcases a rich and incredibly fruity profile, featuring blackberry and currant, tons of graphite, notes of burnt earth, and fleshy nuances. A full-bodied wine with a powerful mouthfeel that has enough structure to warrant bottle aging of at least 4-5 years. MATURITY: After 2028.
