Bernard Levet Les Journaries Cote-Rotie is a thrilling expression of Syrah, crafted from a prized third of a hectare of 40-year-old vines in the legendary La Landonne vineyard. This cuvee is further enhanced with select parcels from old vines in Cote Rozier and Cote Blonde, creating a rich, layered wine with serious character. Fermentation is done without de-stemming, intensifying the wine’s captivating spice profile and deep complexity. While it shares the bold spirit of its sibling La Chavaroche, Les Journaries leans into a more refined and elegant style—though don’t mistake that for softness. It’s a dynamic and sophisticated wine that pairs beautifully with roasted duck, braised lamb shanks, or mushroom-stuffed ravioli, offering a sensory experience that’s as powerful as it is polished.

Aged for a year in foudre then moved to demi-muids, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Journaries (known by the Maestria name in Europe) comes from the Landonne and Côte Rozier lieux-dits and was not destemmed. It has a similar perfume to the Amethyste with its red, blue, and black fruits as well as rose, potpourri, and peppery notes, yet it's more seamless, full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and has a great finish.
