About This Wine
Produced in absolutely tiny quantities, the Amethyste Cote Rotie from Domain Bernard Levet is the kind of wine that Rhone lovers salivate over.
Quite traditional in style, it is a wholesome and rustic expression of Northern Rhone Syrah. Black fruited and spiced with a meaty character as well.
Assertive and powerful, this wine is only a baby, with so much evolution and development to undergo. With such a tiny amount allocated to Australia each year, it’s a wine you’ll need to jump on quick, then lay down for the long haul.
About Domaine Bernard Levet
Bernard Levet’s wines are built for ageing, and at maturity reflect, most effectively, the true nature of Cote Rotie terroir.
Taking over the estate that had belonged to his wife’s family in 1983, Bernard and Nicole committed to ensuring the future of the estate into the 3rd generation.
Now run by their daughter Agnes, their total production is between tiny, between 12-15,000 bottles per year.
With 3.5 ha of vines spread across six sites, the wines of Bernard Levet are a true expression of Cote Rotie, and its varied sub-regions.

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
