The estate and the wine |
|
|
A flagship of the northern Rhône Valley, Domaine de Bonserine produces some of the most moving wines from Côte Rôtie. With its heritage of old vines, refined barrel ageing, and precise control of grape ripeness, few cuvées achieve such a perfect balance of power and elegance, delivered with remarkable nuance.
Drawing from some of the most prestigious sites—Côte Blonde, Côte Brune, Moutonne, and Sarrasine—the vineyard is rooted in Ampuis’s ancient hillside terroirs, planted with old Syrah vines, locally known as "Serine." |

From an exceptional vintage, the 2022 Côte-Rôtie La Sarrasine Red reveals elegant violet aromas, supported by subtle spice and a fresh, vibrant fruit profile. The palate is generous and structured, with a fleshy texture, firm tannins, and impressive volume, all beautifully balanced. This young wine is crafted with remarkable precision and offers significant ageing potential, ready to develop over at least 10 years. Rated 93/100 by Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World. |
