CLUSEL ROCH COTE ROTIE LES SCHISTES ROUGE: Northern Rhône Elegance
The CLUSEL ROCH COTE ROTIE LES SCHISTES ROUGE is a stunning gateway to the prestigious Côte-Rôtie appellation. Sourced from organically farmed parcels on the region’s signature steep, mica-schist slopes, this wine exemplifies the Clusel-Roch philosophy: purity, precision, and restrained power. It is a world-class Syrah that is both approachable in its youth and rewarding with age.
Tasting Notes & Profile
- Color: Deep garnet with violet edges.
- Nose: Intense and aromatic, delivering classic Northern Rhône notes of black raspberry, wild violets, olive tapenade, and cracked black pepper, underscored by a subtle smoky minerality.
- Palate: Medium to full-bodied, yet exquisitely fresh. The texture is silky, with well-integrated, velvety tannins providing firm structure. Flavors of dark cherry and boysenberry lead to a long, savory finish, showcasing the stony precision derived from the schist soils.
Pairing & Serving Tips
This elegant Syrah is the ultimate pairing for rich, savory dishes. Decant for one hour when young, and serve at a cool cellar temperature (60-65°F / 16-18°C) to highlight its aromatic lift.
- Suggested Pairings: Grilled Lamb Chops with Rosemary, Pan-Seared Duck Breast, Beef Cassoulet, Herb-Crusted Steak.
- Cellaring: Enjoy now or cellar for 10+ years.
