Domaine René Rostaing
Legal academic, property dealer and vigneron, René Rostaing crafts
some of the finest Côte Rôties on the market today. He has owned 2
hectares in the Côte Blonde and La Landone since the 1970s but
fortune has blessed him through his inheritance of four hectares of superbly
sited vineyards from his father in law Albert Dervieux and another 1.4 hectares
of particularly old vines from his uncle Marius Gentaz. He now has 7.4 hectares
which in Côte Rôtie terms is a significant holding.
Rostaing is firmly in the modernist camp of Côte Rôtie producers, destemming the majority of his fruit and being one of the first producers to ferment using vinomatics (horizontal automatic vinifiers). However he dislikes the overt taste of new oak and uses a maximum of 15% in the maturation process. All the wines are bottled unfiltered.
