Côte Rotie La Brocarde Domaine Billon Côte Rotie, 2020

Côte-Rôtie La Brocarde by Domaine Billon is a refined expression of northern Rhône Syrah, drawn from one of the appellation’s most celebrated hillside sites. The 2020 vintage offers the classic combination of power, perfume, and elegance that has made Côte-Rôtie such an admired name among collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby-purple color with excellent concentration. The nose is aromatic and layered, with dark berries, black cherry, violets, pepper, and smoky, meaty nuances, often joined by hints of olive, spice, and a subtle floral lift from the Côte-Rôtie terroir. On the palate, it is usually dense yet graceful, with ripe blackberry and plum fruit framed by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Expect a long, savory finish with notes of spice, mineral tension, and a touch of oak-derived complexity. This is a wine with strong aging potential and should develop beautifully over the next decade or more.

Production
La Brocarde comes from Côte-Rôtie vineyards in the northern Rhône, where steep, sun-exposed slopes and schist-rich soils help produce wines of striking intensity and finesse. Domaine Billon works in a region known for demanding hillside viticulture, where careful vineyard management and hand harvesting are essential. Vinification is typically geared toward preserving Syrah’s aromatic detail and structure, with fermentation and maturation designed to balance ripeness, freshness, and complexity. The result is a wine that reflects both the distinctive terroir of Côte-Rôtie and the precision of the domaine’s winemaking.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, or slow-cooked dishes with herbs and dark sauces. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and earthy mushroom-based preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
