Aged in demi-muids (20% new), the 2017 Cote Rotie Quatuor is a blend of four lieux-dits: C?te Blonde, C?te Brune, Neve and Coteaux du Tupin. Full-bodied and seductively rich and silky, it's nearly approachable, but it should be cellared another year or two. Notes of pencil shavings accent mixed red and blue fruit, while firm but silky tannins provide support and length on the palate.
