Cote Rotie 1996 Chapoutier

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (89)

Chapoutier makes no bones about the fact that he prefers his 1996 Cote Roties to his 1995s. His 1996 Cote Rotie is a tannic wine with a saturated ruby/purple color. It enjoyed six weeks of maceration, resulting in a vin de garde Cote Rotie with plenty of pepper, Asian spices, soy, and black fruits in the nose and flavors. The tannin level is high in this medium-bodied, concentrated, backward wine, and patience will be required.
