94+
Our Score
(10/2017) A delicious expression of northern Rhone Syrah, the 2014 Cuvée Besset offers intoxicating floral aromas and deep flavors of smoke, olive and red fruits. Soft, elegant and accessible, with very impressive structure. Considering the multitude of $100+ Cote Rotie bottlings, this is a very fair price.

Domaine Cedric Parpette "Montmain" Cote-Rotie 2017
94-95
Our Score
(4/2019) Montmain is a tiny lieu-dit in the Cote Brune section of Cote-Rotie owned by grower Cedric Parpette. Since the mid-1980s, when Cedric's father-in-law purchased the vineyard, all of the fruit had been sold to negociants - primarily Chapoutier and Guigal. These prized grapes were so good that some of them went into Guigal's famous "La Turque," a wine that sells for over $400! Lucky for us, Cedric took over in 2003 and began holding back some grapes to make his own wine. This classic, jaw-dropping Northern Rhone Syrah has a deep, dark color and sings of bacon fat, smoked meat, green olives, black pepper and violets. The palate is elegant and velvety, with flavors of dark berries, granitic earth and chalky tannins. Cote-Rotie at this price is a rarity. Cote-Rotie of this quality at this price is unheard of. This is a STUNNING bottle of wine.
