Wine:

The Côte-Rötie 2008 Red from Domaine Patrick Jasmin expresses a nearly indecent fullness on the palate. The power of the Côte-Rôtie burst out with vigour. The expert hand of the winemaker magnifies both the textures and the Syrah's peppery, smoky notes. The fruit therefore glides on the palate without ever being too much.

100% destemmed, traditional vinification in concrete tank, daily pumping over, aging for 19 to 23 months in oak casks of which 20% are new wood.

Color:

Deep ruby colour with purplish highlights.

Nose:

Fine and honest on the nose, aromas of blackcurrant, violet, smoke, followed by some graphite, mineral notes.

Palate:

On the palate, the wine starts with a clean entry then shows its terroir with a beautiful, fine, elegant tannin texture coated by gentle violet and blackcurrant notes. The finish is long and spicy, but still shows some youth.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C. Decant 30 mins before drinking

Food and wine pairing:

Beef Stroganoff, young roast rabbit.

Cellar aging:

Enjoy up to and including 2023
