Côte Rôtie, 2009

Tasting Note:

Clusel-Roch make a very high-toned, pure style of Côte-Rôtie made from numerous parcels, predominantly from within the Verenay area, as usual the wine is made biodynamically and is aged in 15% new oak. Very intense and profound but incredibly smooth, too, this shows both tremendous ripeness and vivid, vital flavours, marrying together seamlessly. Wonderful flavours of red cherries, damson, bullace, morello, plum with herby touches of sap and savoury coffee bean undertones. As pretty and engaging as this is it is also a wine with plenty of stuffing to age well.
