Viallière is one of the northernmost and steepest crus in Côte-Rôtie, known for giving Syrah a more lifted, aromatic profile—think violets, olives, and fine minerality over brute power. Clusel-Roch, a benchmark domaine that works organically and ferments with stems, leans into that elegance, and the result in 2015 is pure Côte-Rôtie magic.

This vintage brings ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, but what really sings is the savory depth—smoked meat, cracked pepper, tapenade, and dried flowers. It’s mid-weight but intense, with silky tannins and a long, mineral finish. There’s polish here, but nothing overdone—just Syrah that speaks fluently in the dialect of its slope.

Drinking beautifully now with a decant, but easily cellar-worthy for another 10+ years. Pair it with lamb, duck, or anything that deserves something soulful in the glass.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"Lurid violet. Highly expressive aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry, smoky minerals, candied licorice and olive carry exotic spice and mineral overtones. Densely packed and energetic on the palate, displaying silky texture and superb clarity to the candied black and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors. Seamless and alluringly sweet on the strikingly persistent finish, which features a lively mineral quality that adds vivacity and precision." -Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The 2015 Cote Rotie Vialliere combines haunting aromas and flavors of intense, super ripe cassis and plum with firm tannins and a dry, astringent finish. In the end, the fruit should prevail, but give this medium to full-bodied wine awhile in the cellar to round into form." -Joe Czerwinski
