Aromas of flinty graphite, violet and rose, with some herbal notes, like thyme. Light-bodied with light extraction and very fine tannins. It’s really quite feathery, but has good intensity nonetheless, and a saline finish. Delicate for a 2022, but it has good length. Very Burgundian, between Morey-St-Denis and Côte-Rôtie. You'd have to pair this carefully with food, lighter dishes with subtle flavouring. 50% destemmed. Les Côtes is a blend of different parcels: Côte Blonde, Le Combard, Lancement and Côte Brune. Bottled the day before tasting. (MW)

With 40% whole clusters, Barge's 2022 Les Cotes wafts from the glass with aromas of ripe dark berries, spices, licorice, pepper and cassis mingled with a delicate, toasty note. Medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping for a Côte Rôtie, it's perfectly balanced, textured and harmonious, with a fleshy core of fruit and a vibrant, energetic finish. Less dense than Coeur de Combard, this blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier is an outstanding wine in the making. It's approachable now but also built to evolve with grace over the next decade or so.

The 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Cotes should be beautiful, with a vibrant, pure, concentrated style. Black raspberries, pepper, spring flowers, and a beautiful sense of minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, has a great mid-palate, ultra-fine tannins, and a layered, seamless profile. 91-93+
