Legendary 2015 Côte-Rôtie in magnum, from one of the appellation's great traditional families. Brigitte Roch and Gilbert Clusel — now joined by son Guillaume — have been quietly making some of Côte-Rôtie's most honest, terroir-driven Syrah for decades. La Viallière is their parcel on the Côte Brune side, planted to vines going back to 1984 on schist soils that yield Syrah of both finesse and depth. 2015 was a Northern Rhône vintage for the ages — perfect ripeness, perfect acid, structure built for the long haul. The 1.5L magnum format ages slower and more gracefully than a 750ml, and ten years in, this bottle is just easing into its first real drinking window with decades of life still ahead.

Antonio Galloni

"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

95 points

"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

More about Clusel-Roch

Guillaume Clusel continues a family legacy that began in 1969 on the steep granite slopes of Ampuis. His six hectares of Syrah in Côte-Rôtie are farmed organically; his half-hectare of Viognier in Condrieu sits on biotite granite and yields wines of mineral precision. Whole-bunch fermentation and natural practices preserve the fragrance. This is Northern Rhône doing what it does best.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A magnum for a crowd and a serious meal. Roast leg of lamb with rosemary, grilled ribeye with peppercorn, slow-braised short ribs, or a whole roasted duck with olives. Decant in advance.

Tasting Profile

Full-bodied and structured, with black cherry, smoked meat, olive tapenade, violet, and cracked pepper. Schist minerality runs through the core, tannins still firm, acidity vibrant, the finish long and brooding.
