Country: France /
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Maison Nicolas Perrin / Côte Rôtie
It hurts to say this, but $78 qualifies as a decent value in Côte Rôtie these days. This is delicately floral on the nose, while vibrant raspberry fruit carries through on the palate. A hint of creaminess marks the texture, turning to fine silk on the finish. Drink now–2023.
