Bonnefond Côte Rôtie “Rozier” 2020

Bonnefond’s 2020s are magnificent. Josh Raynolds of Vinous writes “the 2020s are shaping up to be as impressive, especially in terms of elegance, as any bottlings I have experienced here.” Having bought here for nearly 20 years, we agree — the wines have never been better.

Vinous 96. “Dark, brilliant ruby. Blackberry, cherry liqueur, licorice, olive paste and vanilla qualities on the smoke-accented nose. Offers primary dark berry, mocha, fruitcake and bitter chocolate flavors that show very good depth as well as energy and pick up a spicy nuance with air. The mineral and floral notes recur on a wonderfully long, youthfully tannic finish that features a hints of salty olive and mocha.”
