Domaine de la Cote Description

Tasting Notes

Magnificently multidimensional, finely wrought, and swirling with detail, the 2023 is an ideal version of La Côte. The vibrant riot of red fruit is there, topped with herbal and floral high notes and supported by earthy, mineral bass tones. Tannins are finely woven and lacy, rife with flavor. Even at a young age the wine glistens, though evident is also its reserve of coiled strength to power a long and rich evolution.

In short, all this beautiful, romantic complexity is a good head on the shoulders of a strong body—the wine is impressive today(if given some air), but will evolve majestically.

"This small-production bottling is super savory in aroma and so chalky, stony and iron-like in flavor. The grapes come from the top half of the steep estate vineyard slope. Grown on a combination of three soil types, the wine gives potent black pepper, ashes and iron to savor. So extreme and distinctive in style. Drink or hold."

"Thyme, sage and savory notes spike a core of intense griotte fruit, while flashes of pomegranate, damson plum and blood orange work their way in as well. The long, mouthwatering finish has a terrific chiseled feel, with a wet flint note as its energy source. Best from 2026 through 2040. From California. —J.M."

"The most filled-in and concentrated wine on the roster, the 2023 Pinot Noir La Côte shows its perennially high-toned, lifted aromatics that contrast its twisted, sinewy, seamless and lacy texture. The finish is weightless yet punchy and extravagant, concluding with beautiful purity and stunning length. This is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding wines has produced, and I am eager to revisit it after its bottling."
