Les Elotins

2012 Cote Rotie Red Blend

Christophe Billon Les Elotins is a captivating red blend from the renowned Cote Rotie region, showcasing the artistry of the 2012 vintage. This wine delivers a beautifully rich and expressive character, with a vibrant red hue that immediately draws the eye. On the palate, it reveals a delightful interplay of bright acidity and a smooth, approachable body, creating an inviting mouthfeel. Rich flavors of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum, mingle seamlessly with subtle hints of spice and earthiness, providing depth and complexity. The tannins are well-integrated, lending a pleasant structure that supports the fruit rather than overpowering it. This beautifully balanced wine finishes dry, leaving a lingering impression that invites another sip. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews, Christophe Billon Les Elotins is a remarkable expression of Cote Rotie's winemaking excellence.
