Rene Rostaing Languedoc Puech Noble Blanc 2023

$2499

René Rostaing built his name on Côte-Rôtie, where he makes some of the most sought-after Syrah in France. Then, in the late 1990s, he and his wife bought a plateau near Nîmes covered in rounded galets — the same stones you see in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but sitting higher and running noticeably cooler. That elevation is the whole point of this white. Grenache Blanc, Rolle and a little Viognier, raised entirely in steel with no oak anywhere near it, so the fruit stays crisp and the finish stays saline. It is the easiest way to drink Rostaing's hand without chasing down his Rhône bottlings.

More about Rene Rostaing

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.
