The fermentation occurs over a 3-6 week period at controlled temperatures

and its alcohol levels rarely broach 12%

with a sense of lift and suppleness complementing its irresistible savory funk

Vignobles Levet Cote-Rotie 'Les Journaries' 2022 Size:1.5L The formidable “cru” of GarbletThe Levets own a third of a hectare of 40 year old vines in the fabled vineyard La Landonne, and this cuve is built around that holding, augmented by small parcels of old vines in Cte Rozier and Cte Blonde. No de stemming is done here, which allows for that intoxicating spice signature to reach even greater heights. Compared to the ferocious La Chavaroche below, Les Journaries shows greater refinement and elegance, though in no sense is it tame.
