"The 2013 Côte-Rôtie “La Viallière” from Domaine Champet is another outstanding example of this excellent vintage. The bouquet is deep, youthful and very much defined by its underlying soil tones, offering up scents of black raspberries, black cherries, roasted venison, pepper, black olive, woodsmoke and an outstanding base of soil tones. On the palate the wine delivers every ounce of promise of the nose, with its full-bodied format firm and chiseled. The core is pure black fruit, the soil signature is exemplary and the wine delivers excellent focus and grip on the long, ripely tannic and nascently complex finish. All of the elegance of the vintage can be found here, coupled to the classically sturdy style of Domaine Champet. Great juice in the making."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
