About Côte-Rôtie Wines
Côte-Rôtie sits at the northern tip of the Rhône, where growers work terraced slopes that catch the sun. The reds are Syrah, often co-fermented with a splash of Viognier for lift and perfume, a trick that echoes the white wines of nearby Condrieu. We provenance-check every bottle before resale.
