Leading off the Côte Rôties, the 2020 Côte Rôtie Brune Et Blonde has a darker ruby hue to go with terrific cassis and black raspberry fruits supported by classic Côte Rôtie spice, dried meats, and floral nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, balanced, has ripe tannins, and a fruit-forward style not far off the 2018.
Seductive, smoky notes of grilled bacon, ripe cherries and blueberries emerge on the nose of the 2020 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde. Full-bodied and reasonably concentrated, it finishes with an elegant wash of silky tannins. It appears reasonably forward and should be approachable soon after release.
