Product Description

Overview

Winery: Joel Champet

Champet La Vialliere Cote Rotie 2011 is made from 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier
Total Production : 200 hectoliters (24,000 bottles)
Less than 10% new oak (from the 30 hectoliters "foudre" barrels)
Rich and powerful.  Black fruit on the palate, followed by smoky gaminess and a nice Bacon aromas as well.  Very good spicy character and silky tannins.

Spicy black pepper and very fresh black raspberry show on the nose of this young, fruit forward Côte-Rotie.  While fresh and youthful, the wine is also elegant with a sense of terroir, showing notes of dark earth and spice on the finish. Third generation winemaker Joël Champet makes the wine from his 3 ha vineyard, using 90% used 30 hectoliter foudres. 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier. International Wine Review 91 Points

The Domaine Joel Champet Estate

The estate is located in the Cote Brune in the lieu-dit La Vialliere. Joel Champet represents the 3rd generation of winemakers in the family. His home and winery is perched on the hillside overlooking the Rhone River, surrounded by Syrah vines. He inherited the vineyards from his father Emile, and his grandfather already owned some land where he used to grow some vines, fruits and vegetables.

The Domaine Joel Champet Vineyard

Joël Champet farms 3 hectares (7.40 acres) in Côte-Rôtie. He only uses Syrah grapes for his wines, no Viognier. The soil type in this area is schist and the slopes are quite steep at 50-degree angles or more. Production is about 1,000 cases per year.
