Domaine Bernard Levet traces to 1936, with Nicole and Bernard Levet taking management in 1983. The estate owns just 3.5 hectares in Côte-Rôtie, with La Chavaroche representing their largest holding at 1.2 hectares in the Côte Brune sector—clay-based soils with decomposing schist and mica that produce the appellation's boldest expressions. Notably, no more than 50% of grapes are destemmed, preserving stem tannins for additional structure and complexity. The estate holds HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification. The 2019 vintage shows riper fruits and more intense tannins than the preceding year, emphasizing structure and power. This is a wine for cellaring—give it another few years, or decant generously now. Will reward patience through 2040 and beyond.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"Glass-staining ruby. Displays powerful aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, licorice, bacon fat and candied violet that show impressive clarity and mineral lift. Deep and energetic in the mouth, offering intense, densely packed bitter cherry, cassis, fruitcake and exotic spice flavors that become sweeter through the back half. Shows outstanding clarity and vibrancy on the strikingly long, focused finish, which features gripping tannins and reverberating floral and exotic spice notes."

"The most impressive wine I tasted at Levet was the 2019 Cote Rotie La Chavaroche (known as La Peroline in most markets). Scents of crushed stone, bacon fat, violets, Asian five spice powder, purple raspberries and grilled plums make for a wonderfully enthralling and complex nose, while the full-bodied palate is concentrated and richly textured, leading into a long, velvety finish. Wow."
