The 2006 Cote Rotie Classique reveals aromas and flavors of cassis, cherries, incense, bacon fat, licorice, and olives. It is a soft, luscious, elegant red to drink over the next 7-8 years. One of the benchmark producers of Cote Rotie, Rene Rostaing’s wines are made in a classic, traditional style, and are aged in either demi-muids or small barrels, a tiny percentage of which is new. Rostaing’s 25 acres spread throughout heritage sites on the two hillsides of the Cote Blonde and Cote Brune include some of the finest vineyards of the appellation.

Bright crimson. Already complex nose - the Figeac of Cote Rôtie? Dry finish and relatively lightweight but very correct and true and savoury. A little dry on the finish at present. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2011-2018 |
