2015 Vernay Cote Rotie Blonde du Seigneur

The entry level for their Côte Rôtie wines, this is a cuvée that has become stunningly elegant and complete in recent years (like all of the reds here)….It is culled from three vineyard lieu dits in the southern sector of the appellation: the Coteau de Sémon, Lancement, and from young vines in their Grand cru Maison rouge. Based on the stunning quality of the ’15 reds that i’ve tasted in the St Joseph and Côtes du Rhone ’15s, this one should be a knockout as well…I only wish that I got more!!!
