Parker about Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde 1998

Guigal's Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde (25,000 cases produced), tends to have 4-5% Viognier included in the blend. The 1998 exhibits some of the vintage's hard tannin, as well as complex aromatics of roasted olives, black currants, creamy oak, sweet cherries, and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied and structured, with a sweet attack, it will benefit from another two years of cellaring, and last for 15 years.

Produktbeschreibung

Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde 1998


Guigal 's 1998 Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde is a masterpiece from the Northern Rhône, embodying the essence of this prestigious appellation and the signature of one of the region's most respected wineries. This vintage impressively demonstrates the elegance and aging potential of a classic Côte-Rôtie.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby ​​red with garnet reflections, indicating its onset of ripeness. The bouquet is fascinatingly complex, unfolding a harmonious blend of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, blackberries, and cassis, accompanied by floral notes, particularly violets, typical of the Côte-Rôtie. Subtle hints of pepper, cinnamon, and cloves underscore the spicy Syrah component, while the elegant integration of oak adds notes of vanilla, tobacco, and a hint of smoked bacon—a hallmark of the region.

On the palate, the Brune et Blonde 1998 presents an impressive balance between power and finesse. The tannins are supple and perfectly ripe, giving the wine a silky texture, while the well-integrated acidity contributes freshness and vibrancy. The fruit flavors are deep and concentrated, complemented by a mineral note that reflects the unique slate and granite soils of the Brune and Blonde vineyards. The finish is long and persistent, with spicy and slightly smoky nuances lingering in the aftertaste.

This vintage is at its peak, but its structure still offers potential for further aging. The Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 1998 is a versatile accompaniment to dishes such as lamb, beef fillet, game, or aged cheese. A wine that impressively showcases the tradition and class of Guigal, as well as the unique character of the Côte-Rôtie.
