Paul Jaboulet Aine (Pierrelles), Cote Rotie Size:6x750ml 18 ha parcel)The 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.
