Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée

This wine is a pure Syrah, made from vines with an average age exceeding 60 years. These venerable vines are deeply rooted in a unique soil composition of chlorite and ferruginous mica-schists, interspersed with loess depressions and earth veins. The vineyard plot, located on the fringe of the Côte Blonde, contributes to the distinct character of the wine. In the vinification process, the grapes are entirely destemmed and vinified in concrete tanks. Daily pumping over is conducted to ensure thorough extraction of color and tannins, with the fermentation temperature carefully maintained below 32°C. Only the free-run juice is selected for this wine. The aging process is carried out entirely in oak casks (225 liters), with a varying proportion of new barrels, lasting between 14 and 18 months.
