Chateau de Saint Cosme Cote-Rotie 2006

Elegance is the major word in 2006 which will remain as a good classical vintage. The vine in the Cote-Blonde confirmed a quality improvement related to the drought of the last vintages... All the vines around the Viaillère developed as usual their incredible typicity: sweet texture, aromas of graphite and smoked bacon. This vintage reminds me of 1998, with more freshness. 1998 tastes very well at the moment. Cote-Rotie 2006 will age with harmony because the grape ripening went just to the right level.
