The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Domaine Guy Bernard is a significant yet still undiscovered name. Located on the beautiful slopes of Côte Rôtie and Condrieu with only 6 hectares, this small estate forgoes ostentation in favor of purity, fruit, and balance. Skillfully vinified, the wines thus present radiant character where finesse always triumphs over power.
Wine Offering the best value for enjoyment within its appellation, the 2021 Red Côte Rôtie Coteau de Bassenon presents a beautiful, concentrated nose of violet, soot, and smoke, complemented by perfectly adjusted oaked aging. The wine is fleshy and powerful, yet remains digestible and elegant, resulting in a truly remarkable bottle. It stands among the top-tier wines of Côte Rôtie and received a 94/100 rating from the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand-harvested, totally destemmed, vinification in stainless-steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks, with daily pumping-over and punching-down during alcoholic fermentation.
Aged in barrels, 20% of which are new, for 18 months.
