Côte Rôtie: Patrick Jasmin 'La Giroflarie' 2021

Patrick Jasmin's Côte-Rôtie, which is from a traditional 95% Syrah - 5% Viognier blend, comes from 11 different parcels spread throughout the appellation. This wine is raised for 18 months in barriques and demi-muids, a small proportion of which are new as older barrels are replaced on rotation. The Jasmin wines are noted for their velvety Burgundian texture and richesse. Typically, a bouquet of violets and stewed red fruits precedes a palate of darker Autumnal fruit with some cooler granitic notes over a framework of fine-grained tannins. Although it is surprisingly approachable on its youthful fruit, it cellars well for a decade and far longer in finer vintages.The name 'La Giroflarie' is used to distinguish this principal cuvée from a special cuvée called 'Olea' that Patrick first made in 2015. La Giroflarie is an historic name for the Côte Baudin lieu-dit. Côte Rôtie: Patrick Jasmin 'La Giroflarie' 2021. Patrick Jasmin. Rhône Wine > Côte-Rôtie Wine. Red Wine
