The ‘Côte-Rôtie Cote Blonde’ is one of the flagship wines produced by Domaine Rostaing. René Rostaing and his son Pierre are widely recognized for crafting exceptional Syrah-based wines that express the individual terroir of the region. ‘Cote Blonde’ is particularly known for its lighter, more elegant soils, which are composed of schist and granite, resulting in wines with great finesse and aromatic complexity. This cuvée tends to have a small percentage of Viognier co-fermented with the Syrah, adding floral and aromatic layers to the wine.

Vinous
- Like in 2022, the 2021 Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde fermented with 100% whole-clusters. Raspberry, cranberry, black cherry, cedar, crushed violets and stemmy undertones are all nicely delineated. Medium-bodied and concentrated, my rating might seem a little conservative, but the 2021 does not possess the same substance or length as other recent vintages. Nonetheless, it offers plenty of freshness and won’t need as much time to come around.
