Crafted by the renowned Domaine Georges Vernay, the Côte-Rôtie “Blonde du Seigneur” 2022 is a masterpiece born in the Rhône Valley’s hallowed vineyards. This elegant red wine is predominantly Syrah (95%), delicately complemented by 5% Viognier, lending it a unique floral finesse. Its deep garnet robe is a testament to the rich terroir, while the nose reveals a bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, intertwined with smoky, peppery, and olive notes. The result is an expressive and refined aroma that captures the very essence of Côte-Rôtie.
