Lionel Faury Cote-Rotie Les 3 Brunes 2022

Lionel Faury Cote-Rotie Les 3 Brunes 2022 combines Syrah and Viognier from steep micaschist slopes. Separate parcels are vinified and matured individually before blending, delivering dark ruby color, red and black fruit, violet, spice, refined tannins, and a layered, persistent character.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with beef carpaccio, steak tartare, or slow-roasted lamb shoulder

94 Points - James Suckling

Layered, textural and well driven, this syrah has aromas of spiced plums, leather, cured meat, roasted peppercorns and some slate. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Refined texture, with a dynamic, peppery lift bringing plenty of energy on the mid-palate. Seductive, with lots of texture in the finish.
