Marie et Pierre Benetiere, Cote Rotie Cordeloux, 2010 (1.5L)

The 2010 Rhône was legendary for Syrah, and this small-scale artisan bottling from the Cordeloux vineyard proves why. Pungent dark berries and violets meet zesty mineral complexity and cracked black pepper—a wine with both power and precision that needs cellar time to unfold its full personality. In magnum format, this beauty will continue evolving for another decade, developing greater complexity and refinement with age.
