Subtle floral and herb notes join blueberries and black cherries on the nose of the 2019 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron. It's a lush, fruit-filled effort, medium to full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long, silky-textured finish. It should drink well young but keep for a decade or more.

Sourced primarily from the little-known lieu-dit of Layat, the 2018 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron delivers cedary, charred aromas that outline delicate cherry and raspberry fruit. Despite the delicacy, there's a wiry sense of structure to this medium-bodied effort, and ample fine-grained tannins are evident on the silky finish. Give it another year or two in the cellar, and drink it over the next decade or so.

Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

Mocha, black olive and plum notes appear on the nose of the 2016 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron. It's medium to full-bodied, with a rich, plush feel and a long, velvety finish. It doesn't have the complexity of the La Landonne, but it still makes for a very satisfying glass of C?te R?tie to drink over the next decade.

The 2015 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron is a blend of several parcels in the C?te Brune and the C?te Blonde, aged in new and second use barrels. It's less aromatic than many of its brethren at this point, but it does offer attractive red berry aromas bolstered by red and black fruit on the palate with hints of cracked pepper and smoke. It's a serious effort, with dusty tannins that suggest it will age gracefully for a decade or two.
