Read
Aromas of ripe, spice-tinged dark berries and pungent flowers are sharpened by sneaky mineral and spice flourishes. Spicy and focused on the palate, offering juicy blackberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors that are complicated by salty olive and cracked pepper nuances. Fleshes out with air while maintaining liveliness and finishes bright, spicy and quite long, displaying sharp clarity, even tannins and lingering florality.

About the Producer
Rene Rostaing produced its first wine in 1971. But it took almost 3 decades before wine became a full-time occupation for Rene Rostaing. The genesis of the Rene Rostaing winery came about through marriage.
The wife of Rene Rostaing, was the daughter of the famed Cote Rotie grower, Albert Dervieux. She was also the niece of Marius Gentaz-Dervieux who gave Christine Dervieux the vineyards that became the estate for Rene Rostaing.
The new vineyard land was basically 3 small parcels in the La Landonne, Cote Brune and Vialliere lieux-dits. This initial expansion from his initial tiny parcel, allowed Rene Rostaing to change careers as he had enough vineyard land to become a full time vigneron. Since 2007, the estate has ably managed by Pierre Rostaing, the son of Rene Rostaing.
