Tasting Notes "La Chavaroche" is a muscular and aromatically intense wine, showcasing the depth of Côte Brune's terroir. On the nose, expect layers of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, violets, black olives, and savory hints of bacon fat and cracked black pepper. The palate is structured and concentrated, with refined tannins, a core of minerality, and a long, smoky finish.

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.
