Tasting notes
Coming from a great vintage for Côte Rôtie (it was more difficult in other parts of the Rhône), the 1991 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde offers a perfumed, complex, mature style in its kirsch, gamey meats, spice, and olive-laced aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness and depth, no hard edges, and just a resolved, elegant, nuanced style, it’s another fully mature yet regal, balanced, elegant Côte Rôtie.

One of the more evolved wines, the 1991 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde was still beautiful, with perfumed kirsch, gamey meat, olive and spice-driven aromas and flavors. It has a core of sweet fruit, full-bodied richness and depth, and a seamless, silky texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. Given this showing, I’d drink bottles over the coming couple of years.
