Billon, Cote Rotie Cote Rozier other_regions Longer than the other oneNot yet bottled, the 2016 Cte Rtie Cte Rozier (97% Syrah and 3% Viognier) sports a saturated purple color as well as rocking notes of crme de cassis, graphite, crushed rocks, and liquid violets. It's rich, full bodied, powerful, and concentrated, with building tannins and beautiful purity. It's a powerhouse that needs 2 4 years of bottle age and will keep for 2+ decades.
