2020 Bernard Levet Cote Rotie

 The “house cuvée” is a selected blend from all the parcels that the Levet family owns. This bottling tends to be the most open and immediately seductive of the three versions of Levet Côte-Rôtie. This easiness is relative, of course, for this bottling still impresses. Levet’s typical smoky and savage character is here counterpointed by an elegant, floral, and wild-berry fruit.
