The bustling Christophe Semaska is now considered one of the finest young wine makers in Ampuis. In the cramped cellars of Chateau de Montlys, perched high up at the north extremities of Ampuis, Christophe manages his wines ? around 8 barrels of them in an average vintage (in 2003 there were even less). He is constantly learning his craft and is never satisfied, always experimenting, for his desire is to make the best wines possible and hopefully earn some money along the way. For him, the work he is doing now is for his son. He is very much an outsider in this rather closed village and he is happy to remain so.

Northern Rhone
2003 Cote Rotie Aged 100% in barriques (1/2/3 year) this is an immense wine. Inky black with a beautifully perfumed bouquet of roasted nuts, violets, oak and cassis. Very rich but has gorgeous balance and good levels of acidity. Super-concentrated but not over whelming and over extracted. A 2003 Cote Rotie as it should be. From 2007-1012 (JG)

2003 Cote Rotie 'Fleur Montlys' This is a selection – two barrels – of wine that was aged in new oak. Inky black and super concentrated with oodles of toasty vanillin and cassis fruits. Brimming with spices and hickory flavours. Lots of tannins but rounded and extremely well balanced. This cuvee will need plenty of time to evolve but should be magnificent. (JG)
