Even casual enjoyers of Northern Rhône Syrah will likely have heard of Domaine Rostaing. More devoted followers also know of the important connection between René Rostaing and perhaps the 2 most iconic figures in Cornas, Albert Dervieux and Marius Gentaz. But for the rest of us here’s a brief summary and recap.

In 1971 René founded his domaine with a few parcels in Cornas. Then in 1989 his father-in-law, msgn. Dervieux retired followed shortly after by his uncle msgn. Gentaz. And presto: Domaine Rostaing had just acquired some of the most hallowed vines in Cornas, and really anywhere in France. The wines of Dervieux-Gentaz are now among the most sought after bottles in the world and are becoming ever more phantasmic and unicorn-esque with each cork that is pulled.

Pierre Rostaing, René’s son, is now running the estate and has changed very little. He continues to uphold the staunch traditions of his father, grandfather and great uncle, and if anything many believe the wines are better than ever.

Professional Reviews

Jancis Robinson

JR 17.5
"Cask sample. Bright, juicy nose, a little spicy – white pepper, plums and spice. Very fine tannins. Saline. Good density of fruit as well and a savoury, leafy note on the finish. Refined, restrained but still with a tight structure. Long, and will provide so much pleasure in a light style."

"Graphite, iron and pencil lead come before the blackberry fruit here – a very mineral aromatic expression, almost austere. Medium-bodied but with good presence on the palate and some sweetness to the berry fruits. A compact, dry and mineral expression. La Landonne is always strict, but this really is austere. The whole-bunch element is marked, and the tannins are fine and plentiful but very tense and dry. This needs a long time, don't drink it too young. The only single-vineyard bottlings in 2021 will be La Landonne and Côte Blonde - and that's if they are not eventually blended into Ampodium."
