Domaine Benoit Roseau Coteau de Tupin Côte-Rôtie 2020 is a deep and thoughtful expression of the Northern Rhône's signature grape: Syrah.
The domaine boasts 40-year-old vines and terraces located in the heart of the Condrieu appellation, in the commune of Verin at the village of Le Riollement. The soils are of poor granite, encouraging vines to compete for growth and resulting in beautifully ripe grapes.
The grapes from this vineyard showcase the magnificent terroirs of the Rhône Valley using manual labour and natural, artisanal winemaking. Foot treading is still used, and aging takes place in old 600-litre demi-muid barrels. This creates that traditional Northern Rhône intensity of flavour and texture.
The vineyard for this particular wine is historic with steep slopes which require a great deal of effort to maintain. Many years of work were needed to rebuild the dry stone walls and reclaim each terrace of this vineyard when the domaine began production.
On the nose, it opens with lifted notes of violet, black olive, smoked meat, and crushed stones. The palate is both powerful and graceful, balancing dark berry fruit with savory depth, silky tannins, and vibrant minerality.
Enjoy Domaine Benoit Roseau Coteau de Tupin Côte-Rôtie 2020 at around 18°C with pork tenderloin or leg of lamb. It will also surprise you when paired with a chocolate fondant.
