2016 Cote Rotie Lieu Dit Montmain Rouge Ferraton Père & Fils with beautiful stone fruitsJeb Dunnuck 92 94 points: From a site just beside Grandes Places (full southern exposure and schist soils), the 2016 Cte Rtie Lieu Dit Montmain offers notes of crme de cassis, black raspberries, liquid rock and crushed flowers. Medium to full bodied, elegant and finesse oriented, with fine yet present tannin, it should be drinkable on release, yet keep for 10 15 years.
