Description
Domaine Billon Christophe Syrah 2017 | Côte-Rôtie Red Wine with 94 Points
Sip into elegance with this Domaine Billon Christophe Syrah 2017, a masterpiece from France’s iconic Côte-Rôtie appellation in the Rhône Valley. Crafted by vigneron Christophe Billon from 97% Syrah blended with 3% Viognier, this wine embodies the terroir’s schist and mica soils for a mineral-driven experience that’s both refined and powerful.
Rated 94 Points by Wine Enthusiast and 92 Points by Vinous, this red excels with bold cassis and mulberry flavors, accented by whispers of charcuterie smoke and savory fur notes. The palate is framed by gleaming acidity and velvety tannins, offering a balance of richness and freshness that evolves gracefully over time. Expect layers of black cherry liqueur, spice cake complexity, and floral undertones that linger on a spicy finish.
Perfect for collectors or connoisseurs seeking depth, this Côte-Rôtie gem pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled meats or truffle-infused pastas. Its structured tannins promise cellar-worthy aging potential, peaking between 2025–2035, though it’s equally compelling now for those who appreciate its immediate vibrancy.
