Domaine René Rostaing - Côte-Rôtie - La Landonne - Red - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 Red Côte-Rôtie La Landonne comes from the estate’s prized 2-hectare holding in the exceptional northern terroir of the appellation—a rarity in itself. A true long-distance runner, this wine reveals its full potential only with time. For now, its aromas of black fruits, smoke, and violet emerge within a deep, firm, and powerful framework. Its finely honed structure and elegant tannins promise a remarkable evolution with patience.

Vinification:

Vines with an average age of 40 years on a soil composed of schistose sands marked by iron oxide and a higher clay content, in the locality known as ‘La Landonne’.
Harvested by hand. Whole bunch vinification, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, long maceration of around 4 weeks. Aged for 24 months in 228-litre Burgundy barrels and 600-litre demi-muids, with very little new wood. Bottled on the estate after light fining and filtration.

Color:

Intense, brilliant red with violet-purple highlights.

Nose:

Aromas of black fruit mixed with notes of violet and smoke.

Palate:

Precise and deep, with full fruit flavors, this cuvée delivers a powerful and firm profile. Elegant tannins provide structure, promising to reveal its full potential over the coming years.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Grilled duck tournedos with foie gras, beef in sauce.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2034 and beyond for fans.
