The estate and the wine |
|
|
A rising star since its inception in 2015, Domaine Nicolas Champagneux has quickly established itself as a key player. With 4 hectares in Côte Rôtie, Nicolas has taken over from his uncle and crafts cuvées in the pure Rhône spirit, both powerful and refined. With parcels located in the best terroirs, including Les Grandes Places, he has entered the exclusive circle of new ambassadors of the appellation! |

Ripe and full-bodied, the 2021 Red Côte Rôtie La Dédicace benefits from 20 months of barrel aging, which enhances its character beautifully. The nose is very pure and offers the quintessence of Syrah, with notes of grilled bacon and smoke. The concentrated, dense, and tight palate displays great power, still marked by the barrel. A bottle ready for at least 10 years of aging. |
