Wine Description:
Clusel-Roch Côte-Rôtie Classique is a premium wine produced by the Clusel-Roch family in the Côte-Rôtie appellation of the Northern Rhône region in France.

The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as whole-cluster fermentation and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with aromas of dark fruit, spices, and floral notes. The wine is known for its balance of power and finesse, with a long and silky finish. Clusel-Roch Côte-Rôtie Classique is a must-try for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality and authentic expression of the Côte-Rôtie terroir. Pros:

Cons:

Wine Expert Note:
This Clusel-Roch Côte-Rôtie Classique is an exemplary expression of the Northern Rhône's Syrah-based wines. On the palate, it offers a complex array of red fruit flavors, with notes of raspberry and strawberry, along with herbal and spice notes, and hints of smoked meat. The tannins are ripe and supple, and the finish is long and persistent. This is a classic example of the great wines from the region, and is sure to please those who enjoy elegant, sophisticated wines.Taste Flavor
