The 2021 vintage produced wines with great freshness, precision, and exceptional balance.<\/p>\n
After careful vinification and aging in French oak barrels, the wine develops impressive aromatic complexity. The combination of ripe dark fruit, floral notes, and spicy nuances makes Les B\u00e9casses a textbook example of a classic C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of blackberries, black cherries, violets, black pepper, smoked bacon, olives, graphite, and subtle oak notes. On the palate, it is refined and powerful, with silky-smooth tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
