Awards and Accolades	92 Points, The Wine Advocate #182, April 2009 'The finest of these single vineyard offerings is the 2005 Cote Rotie La Chatillhonne. Revealing classic notes of bacon fat and spring flowers in that exotic perfume for which top Cote Roties are renowned, this deep ruby/purple-tinged 2005 offers broad, savory flavors of meat-infused black cherry and cassis fruit, medium to full body, and a long, rich, heady finish.' 93 Points, Feb. 2008 Robert Parker 93 Points, September 2010 Wine Spectator Bronze International Wine Challenge London, May 2010
