Yves Gangloff Côte-Rôtie La Barbarine is a Syrah red wine from the Northern Rhône. This 2010 bottle, despite a damaged label, represents one of the most sought-after names in the appellation for his artisanal and expressive style. La Barbarine is primarily sourced from the southern part of the Côte, where the soil is composed of mica-schist and granite. Gangloff utilises a small percentage of Viognier to lift the dense Syrah fruit and add floral complexity. The 2010 vintage is legendary for its balance, offering a profile of black raspberry, white pepper and smoked meats with a silky, refined texture.
