ABOUT THIS WINE

This gorgeous Syrah by René Rostaing comes from various parcels from the northern edge of Côte Rôtie, mostly bottom slope. Rene is also using fruit from a Côte Rôtie vineyard in Tupin that he replanted in 2006.

Hand-harvested with traditional vinification. Maceration of 7-20 days, 50-75% whole cluster barring the event of less than ripe stems. Aged in a combination of older barrels.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

René Rostaing founded this estate in 1971 and absorbed top sites, plus invaluable wisdom, from earlier giants like uncle, Marius Gentaz, and father-in-law, Albert Dervieux.

The domaine today commands perhaps the finest selection of Côte Rôtie vineyards in private hands; with prime holdings in La Landonne, Côte Blonde, La Viaillière, Côte Brune and more.

Today’s wines are models of classic balance and perfume; crafted with deep respect for traditional techniques like long macerations, inclusion of stems, and limited usage of new wood.
