Vidal Fleury 2016 Cote Rotie "La Chatillonne" 750ml

The single vineyard 2016 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde La Chatillonne comes from a cooler, even classic vintage for the Northern Rhône, and this shows in the wine’s elegance, medium to full body, silky tannins, and textbook aromas and flavors. The balance here is spot on, and this beautiful, complex Côte Rôtie can be enjoyed today or cellared for 15 years, if you’re so inclined.
