Star anise, incense and forest berry fruits, this has detail and vibrancy on the nose. Medium-bodied, with precision and elegance. It's ripe, but not overripe, with well-balanced acidity and some crispness and clarity of texture, it's not over extracted or over oaked. Grown on schist with iron oxide, whole-bunch fermented, matured in 400-litre barrels for 20 months which have been used once previously for white wine. 1,200 bottles made. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 Rating: 95 Matt Walls, Decanter.com (Nov 2023)

Tasted blind. Attractive nose that shows some violet and dried flowers and a slight gamey touch. The firm and chewy tannins provide the backbone to the generous and ripe fruit core, a savoury note mingles with forest fruits and the wine finishes with a rich and dense, layered finish. Youthful and appealing with a ferruginous touch that comes through. Drinking range: 2026 - 2038 Rating: 16.5 Alistair Cooper MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2023)

Domaine Patrick & Christophe Bonnefond

Christophe and Patrick took over this family domaine in 1990. It extends to ten hectares, with small amounts of IGP 'Collines Rhodaniennes' Viognier (0.5 hectare) and Syrah (1 hectare) as well as the Condrieu and the three cuvées of Côte-Rôtie.

The Condrieu (1 hectare) comes from the granite soils of the Côte Chatillon. It is fermented in 440l barrels (with 30% new wood) at 18C and aged on the lees for ten months.

The 'Colline de Couzou' Côte-Rôtie comes from several plots in the north and south of the appellation, on schist and granite, about six hectares in total. All the reds are fermented in stainless steel with around 20% whole bunches. The Couzou is then aged in 400l barrels for eighteen months, with 20% new wood. Production hovers just above 2000 cases a year.

The Côte Rozier (0.5 hectare) is in the north of the appellation, on schist and mica-schist. The vinification is the same, but the percentage of new wood for this and the Rochains goes up to 30% and the élevage in barrel is extended to 20 months. Only about 160 cases a year. The Rochains (1 hectare), a slightly bigger cuvée at 300 cases a year, is also in the north of the appellation, the other side of La Landonne, on a soil of schist with lots of iron oxide. These are the oldest vines of the domaine.
