Patrick & Christophe Bonnefond Cote Rotie Les Rochains - 2013 (750ml) 1985 and while that may pleaseThe 2013 Domaine Bonnefond Cte Rtie "Les Rochains" is a sophisticated expression of Northern Rhne Syrah, defined more by its structural precision and mineral drive than by opulent fruit. Coming from a cooler, more "classic" vintage, it reflects the intense schist soils of its site, which borders the famed La Landonne vineyard.
