Domaine Rostaing Côte-Rôtie "Côte Blonde" red 2021

Technical sheet written by the domaine

Côte Blonde is the flagship cuvée of the domaine. It comes from a parcel selection based on the best limestone-dominant terroirs.

This cuvée is designed for aging. Ideally, wait 20 to 25 years to fully appreciate its complex aromatic range.

Best enjoyed between 15 and 17°C after decanting for 3 to 4 hours in advance.

Ideal food pairings according to René Rostaing: A sauté of wild mushrooms, pigeon with truffle, or certain cheeses like Saint-Marcelin.

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

Vinification: The vinification, free from any artifice and excessive technique, treats hand-harvested grapes with respect, ensuring that the sought-after typicity is found 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' constitution and richness, flavor and elegance that we invite you to discover!
