This is one of the most sought-after wines in the Rostaing stable, and only produced in tiny volumes. It displays a decadent nose, with a palate of ample structure and volume. It needs time, but this has a promising future ahead. Powerful, but poised.
Gently fragrant jasmine and rose, very Côte Blonde in terms of aromatics. Soft, velvety mouthfeel with flavours of blackberry, cassis and more rose. Slightly higher alcohol and lower acidity than a typical year, not as tense and upright as some recent vintages, making for a luxurious, rich style of Côte-Rôtie. Four weeks in tank, 18 months in oak, limited new oak, natural yeasts and as many stems as possible.
