One of the greatest of the Côte Rôtie: Rostaing
René Rostaing, based in Ampuis in the Rhône Valley, is renowned worldwide for his wines from Côte Rôtie (Ampodium, Côte Blonde, La Landonne) and Condrieu (La Bonnette). The Rostaing estate has thus become one of the most important estates in Côte Rôtie, since René Rostaing took over production of his father-in-law Albert Dervieux's vineyard. Gifted with a remarkable talent as a winemaker, René Rostaing produces wines that are always perfectly crafted, built on structure and finesse. However, since 2015, René Rostaing has passed the torch to his son Pierre, who now crafts all the cuvées on his own. The Rostaing estate owns an exceptional plot in Côte Brune at the lieu-dit La Landonne, which he vinifies separately.
On a powerful soil composed of schistose sand marked with iron oxide, the Landonne Rostaing is characterised by flavours of wild berries and liquorice on marked and deep tannins, combining structure and freshness so typical of Côte Rôtie. Less influenced by oak ageing than that of Guigal, this cuvée ages very well. Fine wine of terroir, of very great persistence and complexity. The other particular cuvée of the estate is the Cote Blonde de Rostaing, rich and charming as desired, which expresses its personality through exotic touches of blond tobacco, cinnamon and violet on a deep and tight framework of refined tannins. Smoothness and length on the palate characterise it. The Rostaing Côte Rôtie cuvée is produced from a blend of 13 different lieux-dits other than Landonne and Côte Blonde (the Côte Rôtie appellation includes more than 50). In its youth, Ampodium expresses aromas of blackcurrant and liquorice on a rich Syrah fruitiness, evolving with age towards fine notes of venison. It is worth noting that the Rostaing estate released with the 2016 vintage a Côte-Rôtie cuvée called La Viallière, paying tribute to his grandfather (with a vintage-style label). The Rostaing Condrieu la Bonnette represents the archetype of the appellation's wine, produced from old Viognier vines on a limestone parcel from the lieu-dit La Bonnette. Rostaing also produces Coteaux du Languedoc Puech Noble in both red and white wine. The reputation of the Rostaing estate needs no further introduction, and this is undoubtedly what explains the rarity of its wines on the market, as the entire production sells out very quickly as soon as the latest vintage is released. Therefore, do not hesitate to purchase wines from the Rostaing estate when the bottles reach 10 years of age, as the complexity of the wines warrants waiting until that point to enjoy them at their very best.
