Domaine Georges Vernay – Côte‑Rôtie Maison Rouge 2016

Maison Rouge 2016 from Domaine Georges Vernay is a wine with a story. After a tasting with Paul Amsellem at the domaine, you decided to order your first bottle for the following year — and now, opening it, the decision proves absolutely right.

In the glass, the wine shows a ruby red color. The nose is expressive and layered with framboise, cherry, plenty of herbs and roasted meat. It captures the sunny character of the Lieu‑Dit Maison Rouge, one of the warmest and most expressive parts of Côte‑Rôtie.

On the palate, the wine is smooth, elegant and delivers a true must‑have feeling. The balance, finesse and purity of fruit make this 100% Syrah a standout.

The Maison Rouge vineyard is shared by only two domaines: Domaine Georges Vernay and Domaine Duclaux, both producing extraordinary wines from this special slope. Every Lieu‑Dit has its own story — and Maison Rouge is one of the most captivating.

Cheers!
