Cote Rotie La Mordoree Chapoutier 2006

M Chapoutier Côte -Rôtie La Mordorée 2006 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Syrah grapes in the Côte -Rôtie appellation of the northern Rhône Valley. Chapoutier is one of the pre-eminent names in Rhône Valley winemaking. In recent years Michel Chapoutier has embraced biodynamic practices and attributes much of the increase in quality of his wines to this approach. The wines are generous and fruit-forward at the entry level, moving towards the sublime as we move up the quality ladder. "he 100% Syrah 2006 Cote Rotie la Mordoree was backward and tight, yet had beautiful concentration, full-bodied richness and classy notes of white pepper, mint and darker fruits. It opens up with time in the glass and is a big, powerful Cote Rotie that`s loaded with potential. Give bottles another 2-4 years of cellaring and enjoy over the following decade or more."
