More interesting, the 2011 Cote Rotie La Blonde du Seigneur is a supple, pure and elegant effort that gives up plenty of bacon, leather and background gaminess to go with a core of kirsch and darker berry fruit. Enjoy it any time over the coming 8-9 years. While easily producing one of the top lineups of Condrieu, this estate is increasingly focusing on high quality reds as well.
