Paul Jaboulet Aine (Pierrelles), Cote Rotie Vintage:2017 floral pastille and spicecake flavors

floral pastille and spicecake flavors that are sharpened by a spicy white pepper flourish

I like the underlying tension as it imparts a sense of verve

(to be bottled only in magnum)

There are notes of dried cherry

plum and soft floral nuances that are trimmed in a touch of wood

Paul Jaboulet Aine (Pierrelles), Cote Rotie Vintage:2017 floral pastille and spicecake flavorsThe 2017 Cote Rotie Domaine des Pierrelles is full bodied but exceedingly elegant, with silky, fine grained tannins. Charming notes of violets, raspberries and black olives lead the way, backed by hints of dried spices and mocha, finishing long. It's a complex and compelling example of Cote Rotie, and it's great to see all of the Jaboulet team's hard work in the vineyards paying off.
