fresh and equally floral-suffused nose offers up a mix of red and dark currant tinged with crushed fennel

Wonderfully spicy nose cut with traces of earth and new oak and flavors that display more size

But it will probably be the one that will require longer in bottle to show all the potential

Paul Jaboulet Aine (Pierrelles), Cote Rotie other_regions fresh and equally floral-suffused noseThe 2017 Cote Rotie Domaine des Pierrelles is full bodied but exceedingly elegant, with silky, fine grained tannins. Charming notes of violets, raspberries and black olives lead the way, backed by hints of dried spices and mocha, finishing long. It's a complex and compelling example of Cote Rotie, and it's great to see all of the Jaboulet team's hard work in the vineyards paying off.
