Côte-Rôtie, “La Chavaroche”

The cuvée that we have imported from the outset (1983 vintage) is from the “Chavaroche” vineyard.  As explained above, this wine is aged for thirty to thirty-six months prior to bottling. It is, quite simply, a ferocious wine, unique in its uninhibited expression of the smells and flavors of the appellation. No compromise is brooked here. The result is a wine that is controversial, too “wild” for many but, for us, one of the most elite wines in our personal pantheon. We import annually approximately 2,400 bottles (a mix of 750mls and magnums).
