Yves Cuilleron : Lieu-dit "La Viallière" 2022

As in the past, the 2022 Côte-Rôtie Lieu-Dit La Viallière wins the race as the finest Côte-Rôtie from Yves Cuilleron in that vintage. Ripe black fruits mingle with cloves, pencil shaving, crushed flowers and meaty subtleties. Tightly structured yet totally refined, the full-bodied 2022 touches the palate with marked intensity, rounding everything up with refinement on the bold finish. Give it three more years in a cool cellar to start unleashing its full potential.
