Tasting

All Syrah and aging in barrel, the 2023 Côte Rôtie Laurus reveals a deep ruby/purple hue followed by rocking aromatics of ripe red and blue fruits, smoked meats, candied violets, and incense. It’s a rich, full-bodied, ripe, round, sexy Côte Rôtie in the making. Jeb Dunnuck (May 2025)

Detailed information

Vintage

In the Northern Rhône Valley, this 2023 vintage stands out for its remarkable balance, natural freshness and fine expression of terroirs. After a wet spring favourable to the vines, the summer was warm but not excessively so, with cool nights at the end of the season, ideal for preserving acidity and refining ripeness. As a result, the reds are showing great aromatic finesse, while the whites are revealing freshness combined with an elegant mineral structure. All in all, the 2023 vintage is proving to be a highquality, charming vintage in the northern Rhône Valley.

Laurus

Laurus means ‘Laurel’ in Latin, a Roman symbol of excellence. Here excellence is all about “terroir”: the grapes are grown on parcels selected for their ability to express the very best of each Appellation.

The term “terroir” encompasses a soil, a climate and people. Here it is expressed through sustainable partnerships with wine-growers who share our vision. The perfect combination of grape variey & soil, the precise maturing process in unique 275l. French oak "Laurus" barrels refines the structure, producing complex wines, with plenty of character, beautiful elegance and a long ageing potential.
