E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie ‘Château d’Ampuis’ 1.5L 2019 molise Alex Head’s heart for manyThe hallmark of Chteau dAmpuis is an unbelievably seductive perfume full of sweet black fruits and spices, and an elegance despite the intense concentration of fruit (prunes, blackberry) and tannin. Chteau dAmpuis defines what a great Cte Rtie should be with its beautiful balance, muscular complexity and length. A wine from a tannic and muscular vintage due to the hot climate. Solid tannins, yet well rounded by long oak ageing.
