Imports - Domaine Georges Vernay 2004 Cote Rotie 'Blonde Du Seigneur'

Probably the best French wine we currently stock.

Vernay is best known as a viognier / Condrieu specialist but they release some very handy reds as well from 3 hectares in Cote Rotie and 1.5 hectares in Saint Joseph.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 90pts
"Floral, peppery aromas of raspberry and wild strawberry perked up by a zesty mineral tone. Elegant flavours of sweet red berries, apricot and subtle smoked meat are supported by silky tannins. Finishes racy, sweet and long. This is from the lieu-dit Lancement and includes 8% viognier."

Price is $101 per bottle.
