Yves Cuilleron : Lieu-dit "Bonnivières" 2023

The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Lieu-Dit Bonnivières reveals a complex, somewhat solar bouquet of tapenade, gentian, licorice and cedar, presently marked by oak. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and deep, it is structured around a youthfully assertive tannic frame, concluding with a long, mineral finish. Muscular in profile, it nonetheless remains well-balanced, its freshness and acidity—hallmarks of the vintage—bringing definition and lift to the ensemble.
