The regular Cote Rotie is a 10,000-bottle cuvee aged in barrique (of which 30% is new), with 15% stems utilized during the fermentation. It enjoys a cold maceration in barrel, a technique common in both Burgundy and Cote Rotie, and recently implemented in Bordeaux. The 2001 Cote Rotie is soft and sexy, but possesses more volume and intensity than the 2000. A roasted, herbaceous bouquet of creme de cassis, licorice, violets, spice box, and pepper emerges from this medium to full-bodied, broad, expansive 2001. The finish lasts 5-12 seconds longer than the 2000's. It appears to be Ogier’s finest Cote Rotie since the brilliant 1999 and should drink well for 10-15 years.
