Rating: 3.0/5
This 2019 Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde from Domaine de Boisseyt exhibits a deep, rich purple hue. On the nose, pronounced aromas of blackberry and medicinal herbs intertwine with dill and subtle smoke. With the first sip, the medium plus body and velvety texture are accompanied by blackcurrant and liquorice flavours. Medium plus tannins provide a solid structure while acidity and medium alcohol levels keep the palate balanced.
