Domaine Rostaing Côte-Rôtie "La Landonne" red 2020

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, January 2022): 94-96/100. Reasonably floral and red-fruited at the moment, the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Landonne may not have the richness and power of the very best vintages, but it's still a terrific wine. Tasted as a barrel sample drawn just hours earlier, in addition to those violets and raspberries, it's also marked by the vineyard's characteristic dark notes of roasted meat, black olives and espresso, ample tannins and a long, silky-textured finish. Drink date 2025-2040.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

The 3 cuvées of Côte Rôtie are vinified and aged in exactly the same way so that only their specific terroirs are the source of their different personalities.

Vinification: the vinification, free from any artifice and excessive technique, treats with respect grapes harvested by hand and thus ensures that we find the sought-after typicity in the glass. The vinification combines respect for tradition and calculated modernism such as total or partial destemming and fermentation in self-pumping tanks. Self-pumping tank.

Aging: the aging of about two years takes place in Burgundy barrels of 228 liters and in demi-muids of 600 liters (the latter providing an excellent wood/wine ratio). The proportion of new wood remains modest to prioritize the terroir and the purity of the fruit.

Limited yields rarely reaching 35 Hectoliters/Hectare ensure the wines' structure and richness, flavor and elegance that we invite you to discover!
