Note di degustazione
From one of the greatest terroirs in the appellation, the 2022 Côte Rôtie La Landonne reveals powerful black and blue fruits, graphite, crushed stone, and liquid violet notes, with subtle espresso in the background. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has a beautifully focused, mineral-laced character and impeccable balance. The tannins are serious yet integrated, and this profound wine will require a decade of patience and should evolve gracefully for three decades or more. Drink 2033-2063. One of the reference points for Côte Rôtie, Domaine Rostaing is now firmly in the hands of Pierre Rostaing, who continues the legacy of his father René. Farming is sustainable, and winemaking remains traditional, with full destemming (there might be a stem or two in some of these) and élevage in a mix of larger older and new French oak, with the new wood kept to a minimum. The range includes the classic Côte Rôtie Ampodium, which blends multiple parcels, as well as single lieu-dit bottlings from La Landonne, Côte Blonde, Côte Brune, and Le Viallière. A Condrieu and a Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah (Les Lézardes) round out the lineup.

Brooding and complex, the 2022 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne has developed splendidly since I last tasted it from barrel one year ago. Fresh violets, stemmy subtleties, pencil shaving, black cherry and crushed rock notes are all dialed up. A slice of orange rind adds another aromatic layer. Firmly structured by ripe tannins, the 2022 is a singular La Landonne, closing with drive on the nuanced finale.
Cask sample. Firm and forthright with that bloody and ferruginous note with quite striking blueberry. A vertical barrage of tannins and savoury gamey notes, the tannins are firm throughout and give real structure. So young and introverted – needs at least a decade. (AC)
Remarkably soft on the palate for La Landonne, it doesn't have the same austere impact at this stage as a more classic vintage. Tannins are soft, ripe and not as intense as usual, but it does have length and ripe black fruit, with a graphite element to the tannins. Acidity is on the low side, as is the alcohol. From parcels planted at different times with an average age of 40 years.
