Domaine Georges Vernay, La Blonde du Seigneur, Cote Rotie, 2019 is a refined and precise Syrah from the precipitous granite and schist terraces rising above the Rhône. The domaine crafts wines that balance perfume and power in ways that only Côte-Rôtie can. Under the stewardship of Christine Vernay and her husband Paul Ansellem, the estate has become highly regarded for its reds as for its benchmark whites. Their Côte-Rôtie cuvées, including Maison Rouge, a pure Syrah from vines with an average age of 50 years, and the flagship Blonde du Seigneur, showcase both the grace of the southern sector and the depth and structure that mark the appellation's best wines. The reds of Domaine Georges Vernay stand as benchmarks for the appellation.
