Condrieu Petite Côte Yves Cuilleron 2009 ***

The color is slightly evolved. A nose of dried apricots, mushrooms and undergrowth. The palate is relatively balanced, fruity, with no bitterness on the finish.

Condrieu Gangloff 2014 ***

A golden color with green highlights. A nose of apricots and violet. The palate is rich and very persistent, with notes of vine peach and apricot.

Côte Rôtie 2013 Champin le Seigneur Gérin ***

The color is matte and deep, the nose is smoky and peppery. The palate is round and acidic, the tannins are still present but balanced by a fine substance. The whole remains very fresh, in the spirit of the vintage, but without greenness.

Cornas Les Chailles 2014 Alain Voge ***(*)

The color is bright and purple with medium intensity. The nose is discreet (spices, cocoa, black fruits) and the palate is medium-bodied but balanced and easy to drink.

Cornas Eric et Joel Durand 1998 ***

An evolved color of medium intensity and a rather sunny and evolved nose (cooked fruits and leather...). The palate is smooth but lacks a little complexity.

Côte Rôtie Les Bécasses Chapoutier 2010 ****

The color is of medium intensity and the nose is floral and spicy with notes of tobacco… On the palate, the wine is all about finesse, very long with melted tannins.

Côte Rôtie Brocarde 1995 François Villard ****

An evolved and cloudy color, meaty, lardony, floral nose. The palate is concentrated but the acidity is present and the tannins are not yet melted…

Côte Rôtie La Barbarine Gangloff 2010 *****

Deep purple color. The nose is complex (smoky, oaky, with notes of black fruits, tobacco and rubber...). The palate is fruity, concentrated, with silky tannins and a beautiful persistence. A perfect balance and a wine that drinks very well already today.
