2021 Bernard Levet, Cote-Rotie, Journaries Region_Douro with a sort of effortlessLevet has emerged as one of the greatest old school Cte Rtie producers. The wines have power and grizzly, savory complexity, but also restraint. You get the coolness and minerality of the appellation, the most northerly of the Northern Rhne.
