Rene Rostaing, one of the best winemakers in Cote Rotie.

pierre-and-rene-rostaing-cote-rotie-rhoneRene Rostaing is famous all over the world for his Cote Rotie (Ampodium, Cote Blonde, La Landonne) and Condrieu (La Bonnette). He also produces wine in Languedoc, at Puech Noble. However, only few French get to taste his wines. The reason is simple: because of the very good reviews given by Robert Parker, only very few bottles are available for the French market ...

Rene Rostaing is not only an excellent winemaker, he is also a friendly and engaging man. In his modest house in Ampuis, (just next to the less discreet Guigal) he produces each of his wines alone (a few thousand bottles produced).

Modesty, small team ... this is probably why it is so dufficult to find his wines in France. Feeling more comfortable in his vines or his cellar sharing his passion, he does not have time (or does not need) to look for more exposure. Critics have sent the main importers from all over the world to him, and the production is not high enough to satisfy the demand.

We admire his wines as much as his  straightforward and uncomplicated personality. Only one regret: it is impossible -for now- to propose vintages "good to drink now" from the estate (our only source of supply), because each new vintage of each wine is sold entirety soon after it is bottled ... and unfortunately, it is often opened and drunk too early in the best restaurants around the world. Luckily the Languedocs will enable us to wait patiently for the Cote Rotie to be ready to drink.

For those who are curious, we are also fortunate to have some boxes of a "personal whim" of the winemaker, which is also an involuntary demonstration of his talent: the Puech Noble 100% Mourvedre, produced in 2010 (very beautiful vintage) in less than 1,000 bottles. The lovers of this powerful grape variety will appreciate the sweetness ... and will regret the rarity!

The most accessible Côte-Rôtie from René Rostaing... already a very great wine, especially since in 2023, there were not enough grapes from the magnificent parcel "Viaillère" to make a cuvée on its own... and everything has come together to enhance the Ampodium!

ATTENTION: bottle sold individually in our packaging as we received our allocation of 3 bottles in a case of 3 and wish to satisfy 3 different customers. A cuvée produced since 2013, made from old syrahs ideally located in the lieu-dit Côte Brune, inherited from Marius Gentaz (former domaine Gentaz Dervieux), a local figure like Emile Guigal. These vines...

95-98/100 Czerwinski/Parker. The return of a cuvée from a single vineyard once crafted by Albert Dervieux, the father-in-law of René and the grandfather of Pierre Rostaing. Pierre Rostaing has done significant work in the vineyards in recent years, and the result is impressive, as always in the Rostaing family.
