Condrieu La Bonnette, Domaine Rostaing 2023
White Wine from France - Rhone
The Rostaing estate prefer to make their Condrieu differently from their neighbours and avoid any oak in the winemaking. There is a ripeness typical of viognier, yet the palate is lifted and vibrant with lots of spice and saltiness on the finish. Drink from 2025 to 2028. 14.5%

René Rostaing
Réné Rostaing is extremely skilled at coaxing user-friendliness out of the syrah grape. A businessman by nature, he owned just 2 hectares of vineyards in the Côte Blonde and La Landonne until he inherited several more enviable plots from his father-in-law and uncle in the 1990s. His holdings now exceed 7 hectares, including a tiny plot in Condrieu. His many other interests include Domaine du Puech Chaud near Nîmes in the Languedoc where he produces several cuvées of Côteaux du Languedoc.
In the best vintages, Rostaing produces four separate cuvées of Côte-Rôtie. La Landonne is regarded as his best, with the Côte Blonde closely behind which has some viognier in it. Both are very long-lived, although typically, the latter is lighter. His other cuvees are La Viallières and Côte-Rôtie Classique. In lesser years the grapes from these vineyards are used in the standard cuvée classique. Rostaing is in the modernist camp of producers, destemming most of his fruit and using specialised fermenting equipment. Conversely, he does not like the obvious taste of new oak and prefers not to filter his wines unless absolutely necessary.
