Cote Rotie Mes Grand Lieux, Domaine Stéphane Ogier 2016

Tasting Notes

The 2016 Côte Rôtie Mes Grands Lieux is a beauty. It has a classic, elegant, yet concentrated style to go with notes of black raspberries, spice, dried flowers, and hints of incense. It’s medium to full-bodied, has building tannins, and a great, great finish.

In comparison to the 2015, the 2016 Côte Rôtie Mes Grands Lieux is all about finesse and elegance. Ripe red and black fruits, spice, peppery herbs, and floral notes all emerge from the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, polished tannins, and outstanding length. It's a beautifully complete, satisfying, complex Côte Rôtie to drink over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2026-2041.
