FR J. Denuzière Cotes-Du-Rhone AOC

The J. Denuzière story began in 1876 when Joanny Paret developed the reputation of Condrieu wines in local cafes and bistros. Joseph Paret continued his father’s work for forty years. Paret Wines became Denuzière Wines when Pierre Denuzière, Joseph’s son-in-law took over the winery in the 1940s.

Today, the Domaine extends over two hectares of vines in Condrieu and Cornas, now managed by Caroline Moro. Only Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier are grown here: aromatic and difficult grape varieties that were initially planted “wherever the vine sees the Rhone.” Work here is difficult as the vineyards are only reachable by foot. 

2019 VINTAGE: 

The 2019 vintage was characterised by a dry year with a deficit in rainfall. The vineyard withstood the heat and drought of summer beautifully with an irreproachable state of health. The good day/night thermal amplitudes were favourable to an accumulation of anthocyanins in the bays. This vintage presents a very complete wine: fruit, colour, material, roundness and freshness in the mouth.

Grape Variety  80% Syrah & 20% Grenache

Vintage  2019

ALC:  13.5%

Region  Southern Rhone

Sub region  Côtes du Rhône

TASTING NOTES: Bright, dark purple hues. Generous nose offering ripe dark berries, liquorice and wild herbs with a soft texture, generous fruit, spicy and peppery palate, rather full and generous with an elegant touch and a lingering finish. It will pair well with summer grills, duck, beef short ribs or lamb and it is a great pairing with bison burger!

Cellar Techniques Harvested by hand at optimum maturity, de-stemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, concrete tanks and foudres for 3 to 4 weeks with daily pump over and cap punch down. 

The malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels and 30% is aged in 225 liters oak barrels.
