The red wines look dark red and are fringed purple during his youth. They have a bouquet of raspberry, herbs and a hint of violets. At a richer age, aromas of vanilla and fruit seeds. In the mouth we find notes of truffles, dry fruit, mocha, chocolate and cinnamon. This wine goes well with lamb, guinea fowl or with waterfowl, but also with asparagus and truffles. Depending on the age, it is better to uncork it 1 to 3 hours before consumption and decant it into a carafe. The Côte-Rôtie matures slowly and can grow very old (5 to 15 years). When processing the grapes after harvest, the blue and white grapes must be fermented together. The vinification takes 2 to 3 weeks and takes place at a relatively high fermentation temperature of 28-32 ° C. After the first alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place, after which the wines are placed in barrels at the end of November. The container storage takes a relatively long time (15 to 30 months).
