Domaine Merlin Côte-Rôtie Magnum 2022
- In stock, ready to ship
This Côte-Rôtie is cultivated on two vertiginous hillsides, where the narrow Roman terraces have been “roasting” grapes since ancient times. It's thanks to the unique microclimate of Ampuis - defined by a happy combination of the southern sun and fresh humidity from Burgundy - that it's possible to produce such exceptional wines here. The Merlin Côte-Rôtie is a sublimely sensual wine, unfolding its delicate aromas in stages for a long, spectacular finish. This bottle is in half bottle format.
17/20 - Tasted blind. A meaty, spicy and gamey nose with a wild feel to it. The palate has good freshness beneath a sweet, plump fruit core, fine and detailed tannins and a rich and textured mouthfeel. A meaty note comes through alongside fresh forest fruits on the layered and broad finish. - Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com
92/100 - Appealingly fresh, with detailed raspberry and herbal nuances. Full-bodied, concentrated and ripe on the palate, with thick liqueur fruits. Opulent, rich and velvety. Well-balanced acidity helps to keep the generous alcohol in check. Rich and luxurious. - Matt Walls, Decanter
On the palate, full and rich with layers of black cherry fruit and highlights of raspberry juiciness. Intense yet pure, with a long, saline finish.
Try pairing with wild boar ragu, grilled ribeye, or braised pork belly.
