Domaine de Bonserine Côte-Rôtie La Sarrasine, Côte-Rôtie Les Sans Marche, Saint-Joseph Rouge Edile - Côte Rotie, Saint-Joseph - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

1) Côte-Rôtie La Sarrasine 2023
La Sarrasine 2023 is an iconic wine from the Côte-Rôtie appellation, produced from the best plots located on mica schist and gneiss terroirs. It is composed of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, a blend that gives it power, elegance, and delicate floral notes.
Aged for 24 months in demi-muids, small traditional casks, it fully expresses the richness and complexity of its terroir.
The color is deep and dark. The nose is frank and expressive, with small red and black fruits, enhanced by notes of pepper, sweet spices, and a subtle touch of violet. On the palate, the attack is full and juicy, carried by dense, velvety, and crisp tannins. The whole offers a beautiful structure, richness, and a long aromatic persistence.
Production remains limited, between 15,000 and 30,000 bottles depending on the vintage. Its aging potential extends from 2030 to 2033, during which time it will reveal its full depth and harmony.
Food and wine pairings: This cuvée is the perfect accompaniment to game birds or a fine cut of beef.

2) Côte-Rôtie Les Sans Marche 2022
The 2022 Les Sans Marche cuvée from Domaine de Bonserine is a red wine from the prestigious Côte-Rôtie AOC appellation, made mainly from Syrah grapes grown on steep terraced slopes.
In the glass, it has a deep ruby color with purple highlights, bright and dense. The nose opens with intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by notes of violet, spices, and a slightly smoky touch typical of the terroir.
On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and structured, carried by fine but present tannins that bring depth and aging potential. The whole remains elegant, with a beautiful freshness that balances the richness of the fruit and prolongs the finish.
Production remains limited due to low yields and the entirely manual work required on these steep slopes. Traditional vinification, followed by careful aging in oak barrels, preserves the expression of the terroir while refining the structure.
Food and wine pairings: This wine is ideal with roast rack of lamb, duck breast, grilled rib of beef, or game dishes served with sauce.

3) Saint-Joseph Rouge Edile 2023
Saint-Joseph Rouge Édile is a 100% Syrah cuvée from the Saint-Joseph appellation.
Produced with a controlled yield of 40 hl/ha and limited to 12,000 bottles, it reflects a quest for balance between concentration and elegance.
Vinification is carried out traditionally in stainless steel vats to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the grape variety. Aging continues for 24 months in French oak casks, bringing structure, depth, and finesse without masking the original character of the wine.
On tasting, the wine is ruby red with purple highlights. The nose is expressive, marked by small red and black fruits, supported by a spicy structure and sweet empyreumatic notes. On the palate, the attack is smooth and harmonious. The texture is complex yet digestible, with tannins that are present but perfectly integrated thanks to long and precise aging.
Its typicity and character are appealing even when young, but it will reach its peak after 6 to 8 years of cellar aging.
Food and wine pairings: Ideal with cold cuts, meat in sauce or grilled, dishes based on melted cheese, and a traditional cheese platter.
