Red and black berries glide over a core of stone and spice in René Rostaing’s 2020 Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde, a luxurious yet finely etched wine that feels both silken and powerful. Notes of cherry liqueur, smoked savory tones, cedar and dried flowers coil around polished tannins, giving a long, fragrant finish that shows why this vintage is so highly regarded. This is Côte Blonde with real precision, purity and depth, built to evolve beautifully in the cellar.
Roast duck with cherry jus; Herb-crusted lamb rack; Wild mushroom risotto with aged Parmesan

René Rostaing’s Côte‑Rôtie Côte Blonde is a benchmark, old‑vine Syrah (with a touch of Viognier in some vintages) from the pale, limestone-rich slopes of the Côte Blonde, yielding a wine of lifted florals, bright red and black fruits, and precise, chalky tannins. Always the domaine’s most sensual and elegant cuvée, it marries depth and longevity with a remarkably airy, weightless texture that has made it one of the reference wines of Côte‑Rôtie.
