Perfumed flowers and dark berries leap from the glass in the 2022 René Rostaing Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde, a luxurious, stem-influenced expression that layers rose, blackberry and cassis with subtle cedar spice and a touch of mint. The palate is plush and velvety yet tightly coiled at the core, carrying impressive concentration and inner drive that promises real complexity with time in bottle.
Roast duck with blackcurrant jus, Herb-crusted lamb rack, Wild mushroom and lentil stew

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.
