Louis Barruol La Dorée Côte-Rôtie 2017

Louis Barruol La Dorée Côte-Rôtie originates from the steep, terraced vineyards of the Côte-Rôtie appellation in the northern Rhône Valley, known for its granite-rich soils. The Syrah grapes benefit from a continental climate with warm summers and cool, misty mornings that preserve acidity and enhance aromatic complexity. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation with indigenous yeasts and is aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to integrate structure and subtle oak influence. This results in a full-bodied wine with concentrated dark fruit flavors, balanced by firm tannins and a long, elegant finish.
