Domaine Rostaing
Rhône
René Rostaing owns one of the finest selections of vineyards in the appellation of Côte-Rôtie. His most known and important holdings came to him through his marriage to Albert Dervieux’s daughter, and few years later he got the entire Gentaz-Dervieux holdings. His portfolio now includes 3 different Côte-Rôties, and a small amount of Condrieu. His total vineyard holding is 8 hectares, most famous holdings are Côte Blonde and La Landonne.
Rene’s philosophy is to custom treat each vintage in order to make use of the best nature gives him. Therefore, destalking is done in different ratio for each vintage and cuvee. Maceration is done in stainless steel tanks and maturation in a mix of 225 and 600 litre barrels, one third of them new. The wines are bottled after 2 years normally without any fining or filtration. The estate has ably managed by Pierre Rostaing, the son of Rene Rostaing
Pierre Rostaing‘s wines are considered amongst the finest in Côte-Rôtie.
Since 2015 the domaine has been managed by René Rostaing’s son, Pierre Rostaing.
