Description

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

Another wine that’s drinking beautifully today is the 2000 Cote Rotie la Landonne. An upfront, perfumed, complex and ready-to-drink beauty, it offers sexy notes of smoked meats, olive, game, truffle and graphite. These give way to a full-bodied, elegant Cote Rotie that has no hard edges, a soft, forward feel and a great finish. It doesn’t have the sheer weight of density of a top year, but excels on its drinkability. It’s a beautiful wine

Winespectator (96)

Offers an amazing depth of smoky, espresso-flavored toast that is seamlessly interwoven with bittersweet Valrhona chocolate, black currant and fig fruit, and a great underlying minerality. Supersilky, with a floral finish. Equally lush and captivating on both the nose and palate–a rare feat. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made. –JM

Jancis Robinson (18)

100% Syrah, clay and calcareous soil, fermented in stainless steel vats, minimum of 4 weeks’ cuvaison, aged in small oak casks for 42 months. Dark crimson. Dumb, though vaguely leathery nose (on both bottles). Some liquorice and definite austerity. This brute doesn’t want to be disturbed…. Really chewy and introvert and muscular. (JR)
