Benjamin et David Duclaux Cote Rotie La Chana 2021

Benjamin et David Duclaux Cote Rotie La Chana 2021 is a refined expression of Côte-Rôtie, combining the depth and spice of Syrah with a subtle lift of Viognier. Sourced from one of the Rhône Valley’s most admired hillside appellations, it reflects both the precision of modern craftsmanship and the historic prestige of this steep, legendary terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is typically a dark, concentrated wine with a vibrant ruby-purple hue. The nose is layered with blackberries, blackcurrant, violet, smoky bacon, pepper, and floral nuances from the Viognier component. The palate is structured yet polished, with ripe dark fruit, cracked pepper, savory herbs, and a mineral edge that gives the wine poise and length. Fine tannins and fresh acidity suggest excellent aging potential, with the 2021 vintage likely to reward cellaring over the next decade or more.

Production
La Chana comes from the steep granite and schist slopes of Côte-Rôtie, where old-vine Syrah thrives in a cool, wind-swept microclimate. Harvesting is typically done by hand on these demanding terraces, with careful selection of the healthiest fruit. Vinification generally emphasizes gentle extraction and traditional Rhône methods, allowing the character of the site and the balance of Syrah and Viognier to shine through.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, venison, game birds, and rich mushroom dishes. It also works well with grilled vegetables or hard, aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for about 1 hour if drinking young to help раскрыveal its aromatic complexity and soften the tannins.
