Cote Rotie Maison Rouge•2015

There’s a dark, pulsing energy to Domaine Duclaux Côte Rôtie Maison Rouge 2015, with concentrated blackberry, plum and cherry compote layered over notes of black pepper, cured meat, tobacco leaf and a touch of polished oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet refined, delivering silky, open-knit tannins and vibrant acidity that keep the generous fruit fresh and long on the finish, showing the ripeness and power of 2015 without losing the site’s finesse and lift.
