The nose shows mineral tones and rooty aromatics
A versatile companion at the table—equally at home with seafood or lighter meat dishes
sweet wine that reflects the good relationship between acidity and glycerin
and currant—layered with subtle violet florals
with terrific depth and concentration at the core
Francois Villard, Cote Rotie Le Gallet Blanc 2023 750ML hidden The nose shows mineral tonesDeep ruby purple. Explosive and aromatic with layers of black cherry, blueberry, and plum. Complex secondary notes include mocha, white pepper, violet, olive tapenade, and dried roasting herbs. Fleshy and concentrated yet surprisingly light and transparent. It delivers flavors of dark berry, cola, and subtle liquorice. The texture is described as creamy and rich with a "meaty edge".
