Domaine Richard Rottiers - Windmill - Champ de Cour 2023

The Champ de Cour vineyard at the Richard Rottiers estate is a high-quality plot dedicated to the estate’s age-worthy wines. The wine displays exceptional elegance and has a magnificent mouthfeel. Already impressive now, this cuvée will age favorably over the next seven years. One of our favorites from the estate!The Richard Rottiers Estate was founded in 2007 when the owners took over a 3.15-hectare vineyard with vines ranging from 40 to 80 years old; they chose to experiment with environmentally innovative production methods. The goal of Domaine des Rottiers is to transition the vineyard to organic farming by 2014, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Moulin à Vent. Domaine des Rottiers is one of the finest estates in the Moulin à Vent AOC. The wines of Domaine des Rottiers are often compared to those of Chambolle-Musigny for their elegance and femininity.Soil management, the estate’s conversion to organic farming since 2012, and meticulous winemaking allow Domaine Richard Rottiers to produce some of the finest wines in the Beaujolais region. Their finest wines can age for up to 10 years. The Domaine cuvée features a very smooth structure and vibrant fruit. A superb bottle to enjoy over the next 4–5 years. The Dernier Souffle cuvée from Domaine Richard Rottiers comes from a plot located behind a cemetery. This cuvée is slightly more structured and deeper than the estate cuvée. It will be at its best in 5–7 years.Finally, the “Champ de Cour” cuvée is the estate’s premier aging wine. Complex, structured, and powerful, this great aging wine truly comes into its own after 7 to 10 years in the cellar.
