A blend of three lieux-dits in the Côte Brune, Faury's 2019 Cote Rotie is exceptional, and it may actually outpace his old-vine cuvée from Saint-Joseph this vintage. It includes around 7% Viognier and offers up seductive aromas of peppered stone fruit, raspberries and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky and succulent, with an elegant, lingering and lightly floral finish. It may not be the longest-lived Cote Rotie, but it sure is fun to drink.

This is ebullient Côte-Rôtie, fresh and sappy, its red and purple fruit suffused with floral freshness. That freshness is encouraged by viognier cofermented with the syrah; it’s also simply due to Faury’s light touch in the cellar, the wine aged mainly in large old demi-muid barrels. Supple but firm, the bright fruit is underlined with a cool granite feel that makes this feel as ageable as it is enjoyable right now.

Fresh and direct, with a racy, focused core of red currant and damson plum coulis notes laced with hints of savory, bay and rosemary. A subtle mineral thread weaves through the finish. Drink now through 2034. 191 cases imported.
