Tasting notes
Fairly deep colour. The nose is initially floral then develops ripe red fruit, spice and leather aromatics and a mineral dimension. Nicely harnessed power and concentration on the palate that shows seductive refined substance, freshness, and persistency.

About this wine
Domaine Barge - Côte-Rôtie - Cuvee du Plessy
Domaine Barge is a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley. The winery has been producing exceptional wines for over four generations, and their Cuvee du Plessy is no exception.
This wine is made from 100% Syrah grapes, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best grapes are used. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 18 months, giving it a complex and rich flavour profile.
The Cuvee du Plessy has a deep ruby colour and a nose of black fruits, spices and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a silky texture and flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, and a touch of pepper. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a long and elegant finish.
Domaine Barge has a long history of producing exceptional wines, and the Cuvee du Plessy is a testament to their dedication and expertise. This wine is perfect for special occasions or for enjoying with a hearty meal. It pairs well with red meat, game, and strong cheeses.
