Still in barrel, the 2015 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde is a terrific vintage for this cuvée. Yes, it shows some oak on the nose, but it’s in the form of subtle pencil shavings, not a big blast of toast or vanilla. Full-bodied and richly textured, it’s not the most typical vintage of this wine, but it’s exceptional, showing velvety waves of dark fruit on the long finish.
