The aromas are driven by black fruit, along with lilacs, violets, freshly roasted espresso, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, this beast uncovers layers of dark plum and coffee, with dried herbs and black truffle resolving in plush tannins. An instantly satisfying example of Chapoutier’s work in Roussillon.

Deep, medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure and elegant on the palate, with light tannins, it's going to keep for upwards of a decade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #f20f0f;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"H2ReviewNotes\"\u003e93pts Robert Parker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2018 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde l'Esquerda looks potentially outstanding. Crushed stone accents give this full-bodied red a sense of austerity, while the blueberry and cherry fruit is bold and muscular, yielding to a long, mouthwatering finish. Michel Chapoutier's Roussillon outpost is a worthy extension to his Rhône Valley operations. The emphasis is on the same varieties—Grenache and Syrah, in varying proportions depending on the terroir—and overall quality is very good, with the séléctions parcellaires particularly notable for their excellence and limited production volumes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor's Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43799056253149,"sku":"","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/files\/bila-haut-2018-lesquerda-cotes-du-roussillon-wine-taylors-shop-718.jpg?v=1733025984","url":"https:\/\/taylorswineshop.shop\/products\/bila-haut-2018-lesquerda-cotes-du-roussillon","provider":"Taylor's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
