I loved the 2022 Côte Rôtie La Mordorée, which comes from the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune lieux-dits and was 75% destemmed and is still resting in 30% new oak. Classy cassis and black raspberries fruit, liquid flowers, crushed stone, and some peppery, meaty nuances define the aromatics and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, elegant, focused mouthfeel, and ultra-fine tannins. It’s not massive yet shines for its incredible balance and complexity. It’s a beautiful wine in the making.
