60 Côte-Rôtie AC 2005
Domaine Clusel-RochGrape:96% Syrah, 4% Viognier (12% alc.)
Clusel-Roch’s Côte-Rôtie is primarily from Les Viallières lieu-dit, to the north of the appellation, on thin soils developed from underlying schist. The vines were grafted from their own massale selection of low yielding ‘petite serine’ syrah from their 70 year old vineyard of Les Grandes Places. The 2005 is most attractive with a sophisticated purity, clear cut fruit, stony flavours from schist and fine grained tannins. For drinking now to 2020.

64 Condrieu AC 2009 Verchery
Domaine Clusel-RochGrape:100% Viognier (14% alc.)
It is refreshing and increasingly rare to find a balanced, elegant Condrieu such as this. It originates from a vineyard that straddles the two fine lieu-dits of Côteaux de Vernon and Chéry, where the soil is derived from a granite mother rock. Using indigenous yeasts, aged and vinified in a mix of one to four year old barrels (2/3) and in cuve (1/3), this is lighter than Perret and Pichon’s Condrieu, with perfect balance, good acidity and mineral imprint. For drinking now to 2015+.
