The 1999 M. Chapoutier Côte-Rôtie Les Bécasses is stunning and shows extremely rich cassis and blackberry fruit aromas that are framed by smoke, espresso, bacon and earthy notes. As this warmed up in the glass, it continued to open up, gaining richness, depth and complexity. Medium to full bodied, this pair’s awesome, fat and lush fruit with killer structure, serious tannins and a long finish.

The 1999 Cote Rotie Les Becasses is the finest Cote Rotie Chapoutier has made at this price level in many years. It offers a classic nose of cassis, smoke, espresso, and tapenade. This wine is voluptuous as well as elegant. It is a spicy, rich, and medium to full-bodied wine. It should drink well for 12-15 years. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000
