The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in oak barrels. The wine is known for its elegant and complex style, with aromas of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. It has a full-bodied palate with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Overall, M. Chapoutier Côte-Rôtie Les Bécasses is a highly sought-after wine that showcases the best of the Côte-Rôtie appellation.

ORIGINS

Winery: M. Chapoutier

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
