Product Description
JD100 "Black fruits, smoke, graphite, crushed stone, and bloody nuances all emerge from the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Landonne, a magical, flawless Côte Rôtie that will need serious cellaring. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 42 months in new French oak, it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with building tannins and incredible structure. Hide bottles for a decade, after which it will have 50 years of longevity. Drink 2035-2075.This reference point estate continues to produce brilliant wines, yet subtle, not insignificant changes are underway. First, there's a new Côte Rôtie La La in the lineup, the Côte Rôtie La Reynarde, created in honor of Philippe and Eve's twin sons, Etienne and Charles. Sourced from a small parcel in the Fongeant lieu-dit planted in 2015, it is 100% Syrah, not destemmed, and vinified with punch-downs only, similar to La Turque. It will see the same 40+ months in new barrels as its siblings. While 2022 will be the first vintage released, I've been lucky enough to taste this cuvée since 2019, and stylistically it fits nicely between La Turque and La Landonne, unquestionably meriting its place alongside the other La Las."

JS99 Dark as a moonless night, the knockout 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne gradually unlocks its broad complexity, offering up prominent black pepper, graphite, cured meat and iodine notes as well as smoky blackberry jam and a touch of licorice. What’s so striking about this La Landonne is the flawless marriage of elevated flavor concentration with abundant freshness, depth and finesse. Firmly framed by a tight tannic core, the full-bodied 2020 is a modern-day legend.
