2024 Saint-Véran Climat La Côte Rôtie, Domaine Gilles Morat

In the village of Davayé on the other side of the hill of Vergisson, these 45-year-old vines stand at over 300 metres altitude, but they also face due south. This means that whilst they get plenty of sunshine and exposure, they are also able to retain a crystalline touch that frames beautifully the pure, ripe and intense fruit flavour that evolves from excellent phenolic ripeness. All in all there is an awful lot of wine here for the money. Drink from 2027
