Esprit de Blonde is a thrillingly beautiful Côte Rôtie from the steep Le Mollard vineyard, on the Côte Blonde. Here, the terraced vines burrow down into gneiss bedrock, this being a blend of 90% Syrah with 10% Viognier, currently ageing in 80% new oak barrels (for bottling in June 2024). Glistening, dark ruby-purple, aromas are tightly packed and complex, recalling peachy black fruits and grilled, sweet spices. Palate is full, deep and layered, having satiny texture, fine boned structure and a very long finish (for drinking 2028-2040+).
