This youthful Côte-Rôtie from Lionel Faury, ‘Les 3 Brunes’ 2023, promises a vibrant and structured experience. On the nose, expect intense aromas of dark fruits like blackberry and black cherry, intertwined with savory notes of black pepper, smoked meat, and perhaps a hint of black olive or violet, characteristic of Syrah with potential Viognier co-fermentation. The palate will be full-bodied, driven by firm yet refined tannins and a refreshing acidity. Flavors mirror the aromatic profile, showcasing concentrated dark fruit, a mineral backbone, and spicy garrigue elements. The finish will be long, peppery, and incredibly persistent, suggesting significant aging potential.
