Both of the C?te R?tie releases are excellent wines. More approachable than the la Landonne, the 2014 C?te R?tie Seigneur de Maugiron (100% Syrah aged in 30% new French oak) is still a beautiful wine. Black raspberry, olives, bay leaf and hints of bacon fat all emerge from this medium-bodied, supple, charming and rounded beauty. It's already drinking nicely, yet should evolve for a decade or more.
