Côte-Rôtie “La Landonne” 2017 Domaine Rostaing
The Côte-Rôtie “La Landonne” 2017 from Domaine Rostaing stands as a benchmark for Northern Rhône Syrah, combining depth, finesse and an unmistakable sense of place. The renowned La Landonne vineyard, distinguished by steep slopes and schist-rich soils, produces grapes of remarkable concentration and aromatic intensity. Rostaing’s approach focuses on preserving terroir identity: each parcel is vinified separately, and the wine is aged for 12 months in used French barriques, ensuring that wood never overwhelms the purity of the fruit.
In the glass, it displays a deep, vibrant ruby hue. The bouquet is layered and expressive, offering ripe black fruits such as blackberry and cassis, alongside notes of black pepper, licorice, balsamic hints, smoky undertones and roasted coffee. These aromas evolve beautifully with air, revealing the wine’s impressive complexity and aging potential. On the palate, “La Landonne” shows structure and elegance in perfect balance: full-bodied, silky yet firm, with refined tannins and a mineral backbone that adds tension and definition. The long, persistent finish carries spicy, earthy and smoky nuances.
The 2017 vintage is already compelling, but its structure and concentration suggest it will continue to evolve gracefully for many years, developing deeper tertiary notes over time. Ideal with red meats, game, mushroom-based dishes and rich, savory cuisine, this is a wine for special occasions and serious collectors. A superb example of the power and sophistication that Côte-Rôtie can express at its highest level.
