The 2022 Côte-Rôtie unfurls with ripe black cherry, spice box, dried meat and a flicker of licorice. Touching the palate with acceptable flavor concentration, the medium-bodied 2022 bundles vivid freshness, winding down with a bright finish. That said, I’d wish for a little more overall length and intensity.

Vinous
The fleshy 2022 Côte-Rôtie Esprit de Blonde emerges with dried meat, licorice, cedar, black cherry and black plum aromas. Medium-bodied, round and refreshing, the 2022 is an inviting, polished Côte-Rôtie that should provide ample pleasure right out of the gate. A refined finish wraps it up.
