AOC Côte Rôtie

The AOC Côte Rôtie is located in the north of the Rhône Valley and is among the most spectacular appellations in the entire French vineyard. Shaped by humans for over 2000 years, the vineyard features very steep slopes with gradients reaching up to 60%! Thanks to these fabulous terraces, the vines are perfectly exposed, allowing for optimal ripeness. Composed in the north of a Côte Brune (with dark soils of mica-schist and clay) and a Côte Blonde (with lighter soils of granite and siliceous rocks) further south, the region is a blessed place for syrah which makes up almost all of the grape varieties, although a little viognier is also present. It can indeed be blended with it in the wines up to a maximum of 20% (a figure rarely reached). The wines of the region are exceptional in depth and aromatic richness, undoubtedly ranking among the very best in the French vineyard. Take the plunge and taste the sublime Côte Rôtie from the estates Stéphane Ogier and Pierre Gaillard !
