"A real success at this address, reflecting the stylistic refinement seen in recent vintages, the 2022 Cote Rotie la Giroflarie exudes a complex, fresh bouquet of pepper, dark berries, spices, licorice, pencil lead and floral notes. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textured, it has a delicate, pure core of fruit, with a tense, linear mid-palate of fine-grained tannins and bright acids that carry through the long, ethereal and saline finish. Crafted from a blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier—all de-stemmed—that was sourced from vines spread across 14 plots in 14 lieux-dits, this terrific contribution to the vintage was matured for 24 months in a combination of barrels (30% new) and wooden tanks. It is a stunning wine in the making that captures the essence of Côte Rôtie. Drink 2024-2044. 95/100."Yohan Castaing - robertparker.com .

This wine is raised for 18 months in barriques and demi-muids, a small proportion of which are new as older barrels are replaced on rotation.The Jasmin wines are noted for their velvety Burgundian texture and richesse. Typically, a bouquet of violets and stewed red fruits precedes a palate of darker Autumnal fruit with some cooler granitic notes over a framework of fine-grained tannins. Although it is surprisingly approachable on its youthful fruit, it cellars well for a decade and far longer in finer vintages.The name 'La Giroflarie' is used to distinguish this principal cuvée from a special cuvée called 'Olea' that Patrick first made in 2015.
