While I did not taste their top Cote Rotie cuvee, the 2010 Cote Rotie Blonde des Seigneurs is an elegant, supple, seductive effort revealing notes of Asian plum sauce, spring flowers, underbrush, raspberries and black currants. Consume this medium-bodied 2010 over the next 7-8 years.
This iconic estate, long known for its splendid Condrieus, can also do brilliant work with red wines. The Condrieu portfolio is superb.
