Plant Robert Domaine de Autecour

Red wine | Mont-sur-Rolle Grand Cru, La Côte AOC

Robert? Who is this one?
Robert – sometimes Robez or Robaz – could have just ''stealed''. GOOD. But what would we have stolen? Gamay plants, probably in Beaujolais, historic land of the grape variety. Present here for centuries, Plant Robert has developed its own name and its own personality. If it has become a symbol of Lavaux, we find rare examples elsewhere, like here, in this very original red wine from the Côte, which seduces with its flavors of black cherry and pepper, highlighted by well-dosed aging and silky tannins.
