E.Guigal : Château d'Ampuis Côte Rôtie 2016
Rhone Valley - Côte-Rôtie - Red Wine -Château d'Ampuis is a marvel signed by the E.Guigal.
For Marcel and Philippe Guigal, son and grandson of the founder Etienne Guigal it is probably one of the greatest vintage produced at Château d'Ampuis, the family's historic estate.
Produced with a blend of 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier, the vines used to produce this Château d'Ampuis date back to some of the 16th century.
This Côte Rôtie is composed, among others, of 7 exceptional terroirs coming from the Blonde Coast: Le Clos, La Garde, La Plantée and the Côte Brune: La Pommière, Le Pavillon Rouge, Le Moulin, La Viria ... This is the uniqueness and grandeur of this magnificent wine from the Rhone Valley.
This 2016 vintage just released is simply extra-ordinary, the tasters have net yet returned their copies but Robert Parker, Wine Adocate give a 93-95/100 and James Nubuck 95-97/100.
It presents a beautiful dark and deep dress with mauve reflections. The nose, intense and expressive, releases aromas of spices and black fruits with delicate notes of wood. Tannic and racy, the palate expresses aromas of prunes, blackberries and vanilla. A powerful wine, concentrated and structured with very strong tannins but softened by a prolonged ripening 38 months was oaks.
The advice of 12bouteilles: Château d'Ampuis 2016 is an exceptional wine from the house that amateurs are going to snatch up. It's a very great wine with impressive aging potential. Serve between 16 ° C and 18 ° C with game, red meat or cheese. Open at least 3 hours before tasting.
Wine Advocate : 93-95/100
Already charming, the 2016 Cote Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis features delicate pie crust notes layered over herbal-floral nuances and plush, silky raspberries. It’s not as concentrated or rich as the 2015 but more classic in style. It looks as if it will be the easier of the pair to drink young.
