Domaine Georges Vernay Cote Rotie Blonde du Seigneur 2022

Crafted by Christine Vernay, one of the Northern Rhône’s most acclaimed winemakers, Blonde du Seigneur is a refined Côte-Rôtie from organically farmed, steep granite vineyards in Semons and Ampuis. Made from 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, co-fermented and aged for 18 months in oak, this wine reflects the elegance and depth of the Côte Blonde’s schist slopes.

Deep and dark in color, the nose reveals floral notes, black fruits, pepper, and a smoky, mineral edge. The palate is silky and vibrant, with black olive, cocoa, and meaty undertones balanced by floral lift and fresh acidity. Medium-bodied with a long, smooth finish—this is a powerful yet graceful Côte-Rôtie, ideal for cellaring or savoring slowly.
