Cote Rotie, Maison Rouge, Duclaux

Note:

Slightly more masculine and muscular, yet still playing in the house style that emphasizes elegance over concentration, the 2011 Cote Rotie Maison Rouge exhibits classic Cote Rotie notes of bacon fat, crushed rock, flowers and blackberry styled fruit to go with medium bodied richness and depth on the palate. Seamless, pure and fresh, it’s beautifully done and can be consumed now, or cellared for a decade.
