There may very well be no Côte-Rôtie being made today that can match Bénetière in terms of focus, balance, and streamlined mineral elegance.

This is Syrah (with 5% Viognier) at its most nimble, piercing, and riveting. There's a density here, but also a lithe frame of jet-black minerals, floral notes, and dark fruits.
The 2011 Cordeloux boasts the vintage's clarity and harmony with a beautiful soil-inflected elegance. There's nuanced complexity of smoke, olives, flowers, and dark fruits all wrapped around a precise core.
Côte-Rôtie is famous for being the most elegant, Burgundy-like expression of Syrah on the planet. Bénetière's 2011 Cordeloux delivers in a very big way on that promise.
With only 2.5ha, it's rare that we find back-vintage Bénetière. These are the only bottles available in the country. Quantities are extremely limited. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.
