Côte-Rôtie Les Essartailles Les Vins de Vienne 2022

The wine

Aged for 16 months in barriques, this Côte-Rôtie stands out due to the delicacy of its fruit, its juicy texture, its well-established tannins and its beautiful length. This is a wine that can be kept for several years in the cellar and can easily be paired with flavoursome dishes such as red meat.

About the Producer Les Vins de Vienne

Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Cuilleron and François Villard had been friends and colleagues for several years when, in 1996, they decided to launch their négociant business, christened “Les Vins de Vienne”. And so their venture began, with just four hectares of vineyard. Wanting to develop their reputation for quality and seeking to retain the spirit of the artisanal winegrowers who inspired them, they began procuring small quantities of grapes gathered from the region's appellations. 1998 saw the release of their first cuvée, Sotanum, and their first ever vintage. Word soon got out and their wines were very quickly found gracing the tables of Michelin restaurants. Another chapter for this house began in 2015 with the arrival of their single-vineyard vintages.
