There's something very animal and unusual about this Cote Rotie, yet it manages to seduce instantly. By far and away the best bottle of a big flight in spite of its young age, with nice aging potential. Outstanding. — 8 years ago

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 9 years ago

On the nose, strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, soft, unstated chalkiness, volcanic minerals and fresh red & pink roses. On the palate, its delicate, fruit driven. More fruit concentration that the Billecart-Salmon but less than the Ruinart Rosés. Strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, tangerines, nice chalkiness, round acidity, brioche & pink roses. It's much more floral than the Billecart or the Ruinart. However, the finish is not quite as long as the other two as well. But, it's still very nice. A little history on the house. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 and is the main company of the Laurent-Perrier Group, whose other properties include; Salon, De Castellane and Delamotte & Chateau Malakoff. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 when a former cooper and bottler, Alphonse Pierlot purchased two parcels of land named "Plaisances" and "La Tour Glorieux" in Tours-sur-Marne. When Pierlot passed he willed the company to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent, who ran it with his wife, Mathilde Emilie Perrier. In 1925 Veuve Mathilde died, and left the company to Eugenie Hortense Laurent. Eugenie sold the company to Mary-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939. In 1949 Bernard de Nonancourt became the owner of the company and saw it become one of the largest family-owned Champagne houses. The de Nonancourt family still retains majority ownership today. Check out those old moldy bottles in the small photo on the left. They've remained untouched for a very long time. — 7 years ago

Tasted alongside Louis-Antoine luyt cuvée Mathilde 2013, and though pleasant enough this had flatter profile and broader less focused on palate. — 10 years ago

Superb Marsanne. Fatter and less complex than an Hermitage (at this stage) but also more forward on what I'd normally think are secondary Hermitage characteristics. 30EUR at La Grande Epicerie. — 10 years ago

Sublime. Silky, elegant, with incredible purity and concentration of fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, dark cherries. A good percentage of whole cluster fermentation, which really magnifies the fruit with the semi-carbonic maceration. Oak was well integrated, with lively acid. Once the ripe tannins had softened after an hour's air, a hint of chocolate and a subtle coffee note came through in the long, long finish. — 9 years ago
