Food Pair: Lamb backstrap
A tiny artisanal domaine in Ampuis, Roche Paradis farms the steep schist and granite terraces that define Côte-Rôtie, all worked painstakingly by hand. The estate is young compared to its famous neighbours, but its reputation has grown quickly thanks to a commitment to minimal intervention and traditional methods. Parcels are often whole-bunch fermented to highlight perfume and texture, then aged in a mix of large and neutral oak to avoid overwhelming the fruit. The wine captures the dual nature of Côte-Rôtie: lifted aromas of violets, raspberry and black cherry from the Côte Blonde, with darker spice, smoke and savoury grip echoing the Côte Brune. Fine tannins and mineral freshness frame the finish, giving both elegance and depth.
