Moving to the Cote Rotie releases and bottled in July, the 2013 Cote Rotie Blonde de Seigneur shows the pretty, more elegant side to Cote Rotie and would be a terrific introduction to reds from Christine. Raspberries, dried flowers, dried herbs and ample spice all emerge from this elegant, medium-bodied, sweetly fruit and charming 2013 that's ideal for drinking anytime over the coming 8-10 years.
