He also makes a traditional style of C?te R?tie that’s not destemmed and is brought up in barrel (I believe mostly older barrels). The 2015 C?te R?tie is loaded with gamy and meaty characteristics, as well as blackcurrants, raspberries, olive tapenade and loads of peppery spice. Full-bodied, layered and beautifully ripe, forget bottles for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following decade or more.
