Domaine Stéphane Pichat Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes Places, 2015

£74.95

Category: France, RHÔNE, Domaine Stéphane Pichat, 2015

Les Grandes Places is made from a single plot on this fabulous site, matured for 36 months in new oak barriques.

“A full-bodied tannic beast for aging 20 years, the 2015 Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places is a monument to the Syrah grape grown on this steep slope. It’s floral and peppery upfront, loaded with masses of dark fruit and glides to a long, velvety finish.” 96+ points, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Dec 2017

Jeb Dunnuck

A longer-term prospect that will require patience, the 2015 Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places was fermented with 100% whole clusters and spent two years in new barrels. Blackberries, leafy herbs, olive and sappy flower notes all emerge from this rich, concentrated Côte Rôtie that has tons of minerality, building, firm tannin and terrific mid-palate concentration. Forget bottles for 4-5 years, but it will have 20-25 years of overall longevity. 94+ Points, January 2018

Food Pairing

The perfect partner to meat dishes. Beef casseroles, hearty stews, Moroccan lamb barbecues and rich sausage casseroles such as a cassoulet.
