Bernard Levet Côte-Rôtie "La Chavaroche" '19

Bernard Levet presides over this family-run domaine. Levet sells a portion of his grapes to négociants, but for the U.S market he bottles his top lieu-dit, Le Chavaroche, as a separate cuvée.

The La Chavaroche lieu-dit is particularly steep, and is located just above the La Côte Brune lieu-dit on similar dark, schist soils. The wine is wild and gamy when young, but with aging settles in as an inviting olive-, tobacco- and black cherry-filled wine.
