E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2019 (93-95 JD) (93-95)
“Leading off the Côte Rôties, readers should plan on a case purchase of the 2019 Côte Rôtie Brune Et Blonde, as it looks to be an incredible wine. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, it’s a classic Côte Rôtie with its silky tannins and round, layered, elegant style. Giving up plenty of blackberry and black raspberry fruit as well as hints of espresso, violets, and spicy wood, it should hit the ground running and drink spectacularly well for 10-15 years.” J.D 2/22
