Georges Vernay Cote Rotie Maison Rouge 2018

Georges Vernay’s Côte-Rôtie Maison Rouge 2018 is a profound expression of northern Rhône Syrah and the heritage of one of the region’s most visionary estates. Produced from 50-year-old vines rooted in steep, terraced slopes of the Maison Rouge lieu-dit, this wine reflects meticulous hand-farming, organic certification, and the Vernay family’s uncompromising commitment to purity, finesse, and terroir.

Hand-harvested at full maturity, the grapes are partially destemmed, fermented in wooden vats for 3–4 weeks, and matured for 24 months in oak—30% new—allowing power and elegance to intertwine with seamless grace. The result is a wine of depth, tension, and refinement: structured yet beautifully sculpted, with a distinctly Côte-Rôtie silhouette. With time, Maison Rouge evolves majestically, revealing layers of complexity, silk-edged tannins, and haunting aromatic nuance—an extraordinary reflection of place and patience from one of the Rhône Valley’s great names.
