Vidal Fleury 2017 Cote Rotie "La Chatillonne" 750ml

The 2017 Côte Rôtie Cote Blonde La Chatillonne shows the pretty, sunny style of the vintage and brings medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, cured meats, exotic spices, and dried flowers. It doesn’t have the density of the 2018, but it’s just a classy, complex, incredibly satisfying Côte Rôtie to drink any time over the coming 15+ years.
