Côte-Rôtie

Côte-Rôtie is a renowned French wine region in the Northern Rhône Valley, celebrated for producing elegant, full-bodied red wines primarily from Syrah grapes, often blended with a small amount of Viognier. The name means "roasted slope," reflecting its steep, sun-drenched vineyards on terraced hillsides that ensure optimal grape ripening. These wines are known for complex flavors of dark berries, spices, and floral notes, with good structure and aging potential. The unique terroir and careful vineyard management contribute to Côte-Rôtie's reputation as a top-quality producer of expressive, nuanced wines.
