Levet, Cote Rotie, La Chavaroche 2010 Napa Valley Punching way above its weight

Punching way above its weight and a superb showing for this modest Chateau

Importer's note

blueberry compote and dark chocolate with hints of lavender

Drink over the near term and serve with a light chill

Wafting from the glass with notes of cherries

Levet, Cote Rotie, La Chavaroche 2010 Napa Valley Punching way above its weight96 Points CellarTracker Deep dark cherry red, slightly beginning browning color. Beef stock, smoked lard, red berries. Beautiful developed aromas wafting from the glass, nuanced, developing time wise. On the palate an elegant Cte Rtie unfolding with time, blueberries, suitably framed tannins, the palate mirroring the aromas coming from the glass. After some hours acidity comes a bit more to the fore. 3 2 2024 94 points Int'l Wine Cellar Inky ruby.
