Clos De La Bonnette Côte-Rôtie Damas Pourpre 2020 French Red Wine 75 cl 14%

From a small parcel planted in the 1990s on the steep Coteau de Tupin in Ampuis comes this pure, terroir-driven Syrah.

Expert's Description

Clos De La Bonnette Côte-Rôtie Damas Pourpre 2020 is a Red Wine from the Rhône, France made from Syrah, bottled at 14% ABV.

The wine comes from a 0.4-hectare parcel in the Coteau de Tupin vineyard in Ampuis, planted in the 1990s and located right next to the estate's Prenelle parcel. The grapes are hand-harvested in small boxes, and the wine ferments with a 25-day maceration - 33% whole bunches and 67% destemmed grapes - before ageing 24 months in 5-year-old oak barrels.
