Cote Rotie (coat roe-tee)
The northern most growing region of the Northern Rhone in France. The wines are made from Syrah and a touch of the white grape Viognier is sometimes added.
Cote Rotie has integrated early acidities well, and is blossoming to a long-lived, very complete year. Excellent Hermitage and Cornas - full and long-lived. The best St Josephs and Crozes reds will live for 10 years.
Premier Cote Roties include Guigal's "LaLa's": La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque, while some of the most renowned wines from Hermitage are Chave's Cuvee Catelin and Jaboulet's La Chappelle.
