Maison Stephan Cote Rotie Coteaux de Bassenon 2018
Tasting Note
'dark red; the South comes North on the bouquet which shows ripe raspberry, soaked red cherries/griottes, is cleanly struck, if firm. The attack is close-knit, threads of clarity running through it, a little nudge or two of mineral-iron. It develops strength and depth after half way, takes on volume, hits the line with perfumed vigour, holds fine quality juice on the aftertaste. This is complex, high interest Rôtie. “Bassenon adapted better to 2018 than Tupin, which is excellent in fresh vintages; the stones and quartz on Tupin give a more solar effect than the sand of Bassenon,” J-M Stéphan.'
