The E. Guigal Cote-Rotie "Chateau d'Ampuis" appears a deep dark color with mauve tints in the glass. Spices, black fruits and delicate oak aromas. A dense, expressive and intense nose. A tannic and racy wine on the palate. Aromas of prunes, blackberry and vanilla. Powerful, concentrated and structured palate.
Produced from seven of the most exceptional plots of the domain, Château d’Ampuis is a classy wine with toasty aromas of black fruit. Its tannic structure and elegance contribute to its ageing potential.
Closed stainless steel tanks. Temperature controlled alcoholic fermentation, 4 week maceration, then aged for 38 months in new oak. 93% Syrah 7% Viognier
The 2011 Cote Rotie Chateau d’Ampuis has closed down slightly since last year, yet still offers a terrific perfume of cured meats, vanilla bean, sweet black currants and graphite to go with medium to full-bodied, ripe, sexy style on the palate. I doubt it will truly close down and would happily enjoy bottles anytime over the coming 15 or more years. Anticipated Maturity: 2015-2030
