The 2020 Château d’Ampuis Côte-Rôtie offers a compelling expression of Syrah with a savory, spicy character balanced by ripe red fruit notes. It shows a fine presence on the palate with hints of olive, smoked wood, and subtle floral nuances, reminiscent of the elegance found in top Côte Blonde terroirs. The wine’s structure is firm yet refined, with well-integrated tannins that promise further development. It evokes the classic Northern Rhône style, combining finesse with a touch of meaty complexity. This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or grilled game, enhancing its savory depth.

Serve slightly chilled to appreciate its aromatic intensity and balanced acidity.
