" A blend of three lieux-dits in the Côte Brune, Faury's 2019 Cote Rotie is exceptional, and it may actually outpace his old-vine cuvée from Saint-Joseph this vintage. It includes around 7% Viognier and offers up seductive aromas of peppered stone fruit, raspberries and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky and succulent, with an elegant, lingering and lightly floral finish. It may not be the longest-lived Cote Rotie, but it sure is fun to drink."
