One of Côte-Rôtie's most celebrated vineyard sites—and the most powerful wine in the Rostaing stable. La Landonne: 1.6 hectares, vines over 60 years old, 100% Syrah. The steep slopes and iron-rich soils produce a wine of extraordinary concentration and longevity. René Rostaing's uncle Marius Gentaz and father-in-law Albert Dervieux were legends of the appellation; Pierre Rostaing now carries their legacy. Extended maceration, aged in a mix of pièce and demi-muid with only 10–15% new oak—letting fruit and terroir dominate. A wine for the cellar, not the dinner table tonight.

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

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"Vinified with 100% whole clusters, the 2023 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is dark and alluring, opening with black cherry compote, black plum, crushed violet and graphite alongside stemmy traits. Touching the medium- to full-bodied palate with intense flavor concentration neatly balanced by lifting freshness, the complex 2023 gracefully makes its exit with an elongated, refined finale. Rostaing fans better watch out for this one—it might even outperform the terrific 2022 I tasted alongside." -Nicolas Greinacher
