Description

 La Chana is the Duclaux brothers' most aromatic Côte-Rôtie, featuring 7% Viognier in the blend. Sourced from 20-year-old vines on the steep terraces of Tupin, this limited-release wine is a stunning expression of the famed Viognier-infused Syrah from this northern Rhone region.

Benjamin and David Duclaux, continuing their father Edmond's legacy, have refined their vineyard practices to produce wines of great finesse. For La Chana, the grapes are hand-harvested, with 80% de-stemmed, and macerated for three weeks. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled vats, followed by 18 months of ageing in 600-litre demi-muids, avoiding new oak to preserve purity.

This limited release is a very silky, modern example of the region which captures all the charms of Côte-Rôtie. Just a handful of bottles available.

La Chana’ is the cuvée made by the Duclaux brothers with the highest amount of Viognier, totalling 7% of the blend. Often described as an easy-going and fragrant expression of Côte-Rôtie, this cuvée comes from 20 year-old vines, from different plots located on the steep terraces of Tupin. The grapes were harvested by hand, with a total of 80% of it de-stemmed, macerated for 3 weeks, fermented in temperature controlled vats and then aged for 18 months in 600-litre demi-muids with absolutely no new oak.' - Importer Note
