The 2022 Côte-Rôtie Le Gallet Blanc opens with prominent black fruit, licorice, cured meat and violet scents. Built around ripe tannins, the medium- to full-bodied 2022 is a fleshy and concentrated Côte-Rôtie that should provide ample pleasure with one more year of bottle age. This fermented with 100% whole clusters and aged for 18 months in French oak barriques (10% new).
This is focused, firm and structured. Aromas of blackberries, smoke, dried meat and baking spices. It's medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Compact and muscular at this stage with a dense core of black fruit to the wild herbs and spices. Vivid and robust. Try after 2028.
