2020 Domaine Pichat Cote-Rotie Loss Saperavi he used 20% whole clusters"Despite being aged in second and third use barrels, Pichat's 2020 Cote Rotie Loss (from loess soils) is more noticeably toasty and cedary than his other bottlings. A blend of 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier, it does back the wood notes with lovely shades of raspberries and cherries. It's full bodied, creamy textured and an overall joy to taste, the fruit flavors flowing easily over the palate into a long, silky finish." The Wine Advocate
