From vineyards above the village of Vérenay, north of Ampuis, Verzier finally landed a contract in Côte Rôtie beginning in 2014, a lifelong dream. The soils here are of granite, schiste and clay.
Rich and well-extracted, this profound wine shows dark fruit with a nose of white pepper and some earth melded w plums and some berries. Very long on the palate, it is both fine and intense. |
