2022 Chapoutier Cote Rotie Neve

(casks) dark red; the nose shows a little elegance, bacon fat and hints of roses, with a precise air of cherry fruit. The palate streams along with gentle red fruits, discreet tannins within, has iron tones and good clarity on the finish. It ends with a firm tone, good iron, tidy length. It’s upright, with finesse, works nicely. It builds intensity on the quiet as it goes. From late-2026. 2045-47 4 stars
