Domaine Rene Rostaing
About Domaine Rene Rostaing
Beginning with two half acre plots in Cote Blonde and Cote Brune, Rostaing hit a breakthrough in 1990 with an inheritance of old vines. His aim is to produce wines unique to the region and the recent vintages not only age well but sacrifice nothing when opened early.

Vinous (92)Greenish yellow. High-pitched, minerally citrus and orchard fruit aromas show excellent clarity and a hint of pungent flowers. Concentrated yet lithe on the palate, offering juicy Meyer lemon and green apple flavors plus a touch of anise. Finishes silky and seamless, with repeating mineral and floral notes. |

Vinous (95)Brilliant ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes fresh raspberry and boysenberry, potpourri, floral oils and smoky minerals. Lively, palate-staining red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors are complicated by powerful spice and mineral notes that expand with air. Closes on a gently tannic note, showing outstanding clarity and excellent mineral-driven persistence and leaving sweet dark berry notes behind. |

Wine Advocate (95+)While the Cote Blonde gives me a touch of concern, I've no such reservations with the 2013 Cote Rotie Cote Brune, which comes from a parcel previously owned by Marius Gentez, which was replanted by Rene in 2000. Upfront, expressive and complex aromatically with sensational notes of black fruits, plums, violets, peach pit and orange blossom, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a loaded mid-palate and building tannin -- all of which suggest it will benefit from short term cellaring. This beauty will have 20-25 years of longevity. This was another terrific visit with Rene Rostaing, and he's hit gold in both 2012 and 2013. In fact, he may have fashioned the wines of the vintage in 2013 and I was blown away by the depth and richness these showed. There are few people doing Côte Rôtie better than this guy. |

Wine Advocate (95)About as voluptuous and sexy a la Landonne as I've tasted from Rene, the 2013 Cote Rotie la Landonne excels in the vintage and offers rock star notes of violets, black and blue fruits, olive and pepper. Full-bodied, layered, beautifully concentrated and with ripe tannin, it needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for two decades or more. |
