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.

Medium Bodied,

Red,
Syrah/Shiraz,
Ready, but will improve,
13% alc.
Sourced from 13 lieux-dits the Classique is an elegant and very self-assured wine. Balance is fundamental here; the Syrah has provided the fruit and the charm, the winemaker has completed the work with real skill. Drink 2012-2016. |

M. Rostaing has some of the finest holdings in La Landonne, located at the centre and in the north of the famous commune. The wine boasts peppers and herbs in addition to the typically resplendent fruit-basket. We were struck especially by the purity and freshness of the 2008. Drink 2013-2018. |

Medium Bodied,

Ready, but will improve,

The Côte Blonde includes a little over 3% Viognier. At the time of tasting, it was firmer than the Landonne, with its weight of dark fruit somewhat homogenised, yet the tannins seemed if anything even finer, promising a very satisfactory evolution. Drink 2013-2018. |

The 2005 Cote Rotie Cote Blonde is pure sex, with about 3% Viognier in the blend. The wine has a dark ruby color to the rim and an extraordinary nose of exotic tropical fruits intermixed with kirsch, blackberry, licorice, and pepper. The wine is incredibly seductive aromatically, but then in the ... MORE |

The aptly named Classique Cuvée from the doyen of Côte Rôtie, farmed from 21 different parcels in both the Côtes, that is to say Brune and Blonde. The 2006 is a rounder and more approachable wine than the 2005; elegance and poise, with hints of black cherry, pepper ... MORE |

This is a wine for the long term; its potential for longevity is evidenced by the use of stems and the fact that the 5% Viognier is scarcely discernible on the nose. Behind the granitic façade there are multitudinous signs of finely-textured complexity; hints of violet, mulberry, pepper ... MORE |
