Why We're Buying

Domaine Patrick & Christophe Bonnefond Les Rochains is a perfect example of why Côte-Rôtie is famous for wines. With its dark fruit flavors and smoky aroma, this red wine has become an annual fan favorite. If you have lamb or barbecue for dinner, it might just be worth taking this syrah out of the cellar.

Vinous

Brilliant violet. Expansive, mineral-tinged black and blue fruit aromas show excellent clarity and pick up suave floral and spice notes with air. Shows very good depth as well as energy to the sweet black raspberry, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors, which become spicier on the back half. The floral note drives a very long, juicy finish framed by smooth tannins.
