Marie et Pierre Bénetière
Overview
Marie et Pierre Bénetière is a small estate in Côte-Rôtie, producing wines from the Landonne and Moulin-à-Vent lieu-dits of the Côte Brune, plus a Vin de France. The wines are biodynamic and natural, with no additions. Bénetière is one of the rising star names of Côte-Rôtie — extremely small production makes them collector items.

Style Notes
Very classical Côte-Rôtie: dark, perfumed, with the distinctive violet and iron of the Côte Brune. The wines are tight in youth and need 10–15 years. The natural approach adds a savory, wild complexity.
