Marie et Pierre Bénetière 2017 'Cordeloux' Côte-Rôtie, Rhône Valley, France

An alumnus of Domaine George Vernay, this minuscule production is scarcely seen, and highly sought-after.

Farming: Sustainable

Winemaker/Chef du Cave: Pierre Benetiere 

Grape Varieties: 95% Syrah, 5% Viognier 

Soil Type: Granitic soils of Côte Blonde

Vinification/Oak Usage: Farmed and harvested by hand. Stems inclusion. Barrel aged. 

Tasting Notes: A pure and vivid expression of Northern Rhone Syrah, this wine stuns with an elegant balance of ripe violet fruits, a granitic backbone and a smoky, lenghty finish.
