Made from 100% Syrah grapes grown below the ruins of the Château de la Bâtie, this garnet wine displays luscious notes of griottes cherries supported by smooth yet vivid tannins. Hints of violet and baking spices provide complexity as it lingers on the palate.
Traditional pairings include roast beef, seared duck breast, herb crusted lamb chops or slightly aged cheese.
Grapes are 100% destemmed before fermentation and spend 24 months in French barrels, including 30% new barrels. Only 1500 bottles are produced each year.

Situated 3 kilometres from the city of Ampuis in the Northern Rhône, Christophe Billon has been meticulously mastering his craft since the 1990s. Starting with his first Côte Rôtie vintage in 1991, him and his wife Maryline has been expanding their domaine with the addition of their son Corentin in 2018.
They currently hold approximately 10 hectares over 3 different appellations, which include their prestigious single vineyard Côte Rôtie wines, La Brocarde and La Côte Rozier, released in 2000 and in 2015, respectively. The oldest vines dates back to 1942, planted by Christophe’s grandfather.
In 2006, they decided to embark on a new adventure in the up-and-coming region across the Rhône River near the city of Vienne, producing their first vintage of La Bâtie in 2009.
Equipped with the HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) Level 3 certification, Christophe and his team continuously makes conscious decisions about the well-being of the environment and the biodiversity throughout his vines.
