Note di degustazione
Rich and powerful, with real schist character (which makes sense coming from this steep site of pure schist) as well as chocolaty, red and black fruits, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Le Viallière is full-bodied and supple on the palate, with ripe tannins. Dense, structured, and inward, this serious wine will need time. Hide bottles for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades. Drink 2027-2047. 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.

The outstanding 2022 Côte-Rôtie La Viallière presents intense black fruit, spice and cedar tones, with a hint of licorice and fresh violet. Concentrated and powerful, it’s a classy Côte-Rôtie with attitude and focus. Tightly structured by firm tannins, the 2022 will benefit from four more years in bottle.
Cask sample. Lovely nose, some violet and blue fruits as well as darker fruits beneath. The palate has tension and plenty of vertical tannins as well. Grippy and layered and attractive – youthful, stony, perfumed and tense. (AC)
