Bernard Levet Description
The domaine consists of 3.5 hectares of vineyards, all of which are located within the boundaries of the town of Ampuis and are entitled to the Cote Rotie appellation. The vines are dispersed among six separate parcels:
“Chavaroche” is, quite simply, a ferocious wine, unique in its uninhibited expression of the smells and flavors of the appellation. No compromise is brooked here. The result is a wine that is controversial, too “wild” for many but, for us, one of the most elite wines in our personal pantheon. “Chavaroche” (Cote Brune/southwest exposure/average age 40 years/1.2 hectare)
Wine Advocate: 94-96 Points
Aromas of cassis, mulberries, spices, dark olives and flowers mingled with a somewhat wild character introduce the 2022 Cote Rotie La Chavaroche, a full-bodied, deep and layered wine with a fleshy, dense core of fruit, supple tannins perfectly framed by bright acids and a sappy, resonant and saline finish.
Known outside the USA as La Péroline, it possesses a firm, slightly austere character wrapped in a singular, sappy texture that seamlessly blends density and charm.
