Georges Vernay’s Côte-Rôtie Maison Rouge 2018 is a profound expression of northern Rhône Syrah and the heritage of one of the region’s most visionary estates. Produced from 50-year-old vines rooted in steep, terraced slopes of the Maison Rouge lieu-dit, this wine reflects meticulous hand-farming, organic certification, and the Vernay family’s uncompromising commitment to purity, finesse, and terroir.

Hand-harvested at full maturity, the grapes are partially destemmed, fermented in wooden vats for 3–4 weeks, and matured for 24 months in oak—30% new—allowing power and elegance to intertwine with seamless grace. The result is a wine of depth, tension, and refinement: structured yet beautifully sculpted, with a distinctly Côte-Rôtie silhouette. With time, Maison Rouge evolves majestically, revealing layers of complexity, silk-edged tannins, and haunting aromatic nuance—an extraordinary reflection of place and patience from one of the Rhône Valley’s great names.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep garnet with ruby-purple reflections, gradually shading toward inky tones at the core.

Nose: Seductive and complex, unfolding with blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark plum intertwined with violets, rose petals, and notes of smoked meat. Nuances of oriental spice, black pepper, cedar, and subtle toast glide alongside graphite, licorice, and hints of cigar leaf as it opens in the glass.

Palate: Elegant yet resolutely structured. Concentrated black fruit and ripe dark cherry flow across a refined, layered palate framed by firm yet beautifully polished tannins. Savory undertones of smoked earth, charred herbs, and mineral tension complement touches of cocoa, sweet spice, and cured meat. The texture is silky and graceful, showing both richness and restraint, with remarkable balance and depth.

Finish: Long, poised, and resonant, lingering with dark fruit, spice, smoke, and subtle saline-mineral freshness. Built for longevity, with complexity that will deepen for years to come.
