Chateau d’Ampuis Cote Rotie 2015, Guigal

Brilliant violet. Powerful, smoke-tinged dark berry preserve, candied violet, olive and fruitcake aromas show excellent clarity and pick up a spicy element with air. Palate-staining blackberry, cherry liqueur, bitter chocolate and floral pastille flavors are sharpened by a suggestion of cracked pepper. Surprisingly light on its feet given the depth of flavor and power. Finishes extremely long and floral, with steadily building tannins and a sneaky touch of exotic spices.

E. Guigal is a truly special winery that has rightly become the gold standard for the finest wines of the Northern Rhône.

Their exceptional, ambitious Côte Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2015 is a masterclass in range and quality depth.
