Vignobles Levet Cote-Rotie 2021 Rhone Valley this exceptionally complex and age-worthyComprised of vines from throughout the familys holdings, Levets basic Cte Rtie spends two years in 600 liter barrels, less than 10% of which are new. The primary vineyard sources are Les Craies and Mollard in Cte Blonde, with younger vines from Moulin and Fontgent in Cte Brune. Agns used only 20% stems in the vinification of this cuve in 2021 given the relative lightness of the vintage, and the finished wine is a super classic pre climate change
