Francois et Fils 2019 Cote Rotie

Fermented with 4% Viognier, the 2019 Côte Rôtie shows a more peppery, wilder side with lots of dark berry and black raspberry fruits as well as peppery herbs, iron, tapenade, and candied violet. Medium-bodied on the palate, this balanced, elegant yet still quite structured Côte Rôtie will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and should drink brilliantly for a decade. - 91 Points,  Jeb Dunnuck
