Côte Rôtie, Ampodium, 2020

Dark but crisp, clear fruits. Notes of black cherry and bramble with a salty, mineral undertow. The fruit is clenched by a powerful but rounded tannic grip. Bags of intensity, character and energy. As ever a minimum of 90% whole bunch fermentation was used to keep the wine as fresh as possible. A blend of top-quality vineyards across the estate including Tupin and Viaillere, all fermented with whole bunches and aged in large demi-muid casks, a maximum of 10% of which are new.
