Tasting notes
A dash of Viognier lends delicate floral lift to the Syrah’s core of blackcurrant and spice. The palate is textured and refined, showing impressive structure and silky-smooth tannins. Notes of dark chocolate and cocoa bean evolve into hints of black olive and savoury, meaty nuances, adding depth and complexity. Powerful yet poised, this wine finishes long, elegant, and persistent—showcasing both finesse and intensity.
Expert Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 Points
'A blend of grapes from Bassenon, Maison Rouge and Lancement, the 2019 Cote Rotie Blonde du Seigneur contains about 5% Viognier. Notes of violets and purple raspberries appear on the nose, joined by peppery spice and hints of licorice, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, silky and deep, with a long, mouthwatering finish that echoes of cherries and raspberries.'
