Georges Lelektsoglou, Cote Rotie Brocarde other_regions_italy bitter cherry and spicecake onBlack raspberries, spicy wood, and smoked meats emerge from the 2022 Cte Rtie Lieu Dit La Brocarde, which shines for its incredible purity of fruit. Medium to full bodied and aged in third year barrels, it delivers gorgeous mid palate depth, fine tannins, and outstanding overall balance. My money is on it being a truly brilliant Cte Rtie.
