The Character

Overall Elegant & Complex
Aromas Violets, wild berries, resin, candied lavender, bacon
Mouthfeel Concentrated yet Energetic
Tasting Notes The "Les Journaries" offers a vibrant bouquet of violets, wild berries, blackcurrants, and hints of olive tapenade. On the palate, it balances richness and finesse, with flavors of dark cherries, cassis, cracked pepper, and espresso. The presence of resinous, firm tannins reflects the inclusion of stems, lending a textural complexity. A mineral backbone and fresh acidity bring vibrancy, while the finish is long and spiced, with whispers of exotic herbs and smoked meats.
Pairings Roasted duck, lamb with rosemary, or mushroom risotto
Sustainability Sustainable In Practice, Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation

The Story

Drawn from old vines in the famed Landonne lieu-dit. More subtle, elegant, and "quieter" than the Chavaroche.

About Bernard Levet

Producer Story

A small range of three Côte-Rôtie is made by the Ampuis based Levet family at their domaine, founded in 1929. Bernard Levet’s daughter Agnès has joined him and as elsewhere a new generation brings fresh impetus and an overhaul particularly of winemaking. The wines here though very much retain their traditional approach and are full of depth and character but also finely crafted and well made. The Levets have small plots spread across a number of sites with just over 4 ha under vine. The vine age varies but much of the vineyard is over 70 years of age, providing great intensity in the fruit. The vinification regime is to some extent driven by the wine and vine age.
