Tasting Notes

Not yet bottled, the 2016 Côte Rôtie Château D'Ampuis offers a more seamless, elegant style as well as powerful notes of cassis, licorice, smoked meats, and game. It’s deep, rich, has fine yet building tannins, and a great finish.

The 2016 Côte Rôtie Château D'Ampuis tastes like a mini La Turque with its classic crème de cassis fruit, notes of spice and caramelized meats, full body, and straight-up perfect balance. With sweet tannins and a great mid-palate, it’s another rock star vintage from this cuvée.
