Côte-Rôtie Côte Rozier Christophe Pichon (Domaine) 2020

The wine

Produced on a flinty hillside plot, this cuvée is blended from hand-harvested Syrah and Viognier and matured in new barrels for 13 months. Its aromatic complexity (dark fruits, pepper, violets, leather, game) is balanced and softened by the Viognier’s smooth texture. After a few years in the cellar this wine’s charms are at their best alongside powerful dishes.

About the Producer Christophe Pichon

It has now been 30 years that Christophe Pichon has passionately tended his 18 hectares of vines, spread over the appellations of Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph and Cornas. Corentin moved to the domain in 2012, having graduated in viticulture and enology. Alexis was next, following a year gaining experience in Australia, he came on board to take over the sales side of the business. Mark our words, dear reader, because wines from this domain are renowned for their subtlety and elegance, and offer true reflections of these prestigious terroirs.
