The 2015 Cote Rotie Champon's is a full-bodied, turbocharged wine, loaded with fruit, extract and tannin. Hints of graham cracker frame tapenade notes on the nose, while the flavors feature no-holds-barred layers of black fruit and power. It's long and velvety on the finish, and while it may take 5 or so years to completely soften, it should drink well for at least a decade after that.
