Marie et Pierre Benetiere, Cote-Rotie Cordeloux, 2010
A cult, hard-to-find Cote-Rotie from a traditionalist who brings an almost Burgundian grace to the Northern Rhone's most dramatic Syrah hillside. Pierre Benetiere makes Cordeloux from northern Cote-Rotie fruit, essentially pure Syrah with just a whisper of Viognier, using whole clusters and very little new oak, aiming for nuance rather than weight. Production is minuscule and bottles are genuinely scarce. The 2010 came from one of the Northern Rhone's great structured vintages, giving a Cordeloux with depth and class for the long haul. Decant a young bottle generously, or cellar it.
