2017 vintage. Decanted, chilled down to upper-50's and tasted after one hour. Light-medium body. A small amount of barnyard funk that blew off quickly. Penultimate bottle. In a state of transition but showing well. Judicious fruit along with softening tannins. Silk pajamas. The Mongeard style runs a little lighter but results in plenty of delicate beauties. This one is no exception. 3.30.24. — a month ago
“La Colombiere.” Pnp magic. Love the MG 19’s. It’s so obvious Vosne, wafting from the glass with a captivating perfume of red berries, rose petals and spices with an incredibly velvety palate. Just so giving and it was even better for lunch the next day! — a month ago
Dinner of the year (so far, it’s only April!) and a wonderful Burgundy. All the classic ingredients…red fruits, deep concentration, light yet full bodied 👌🏼 — 15 days ago
The 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne offers a red-fruited profile paired with pencil shavings, meaty undertones and a marked herbaceous streak. Framed by firm tannins and balanced by refreshing acidity, the 2021 hits the palate with juicy red fruits and great intensity. Still, it can’t compete with the more generous and complex 2022.

In summary, really good 👍🏼 — 11 days ago
The 2021 Côte-Rôtie Ampodium used 90% whole-clusters during fermentation. This winemaking technique becomes visible in the aromatic profile through a marked stemminess, complemented by bright red fruits, cedar and floral shadings. Medium-bodied and framed by low levels of soft tannins, the 2021 is a polished and refreshing Ampodium that concludes with a bright finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, March 2024)

This was a real treat after the Gentaz-Dervieux since Rene Rostaing is Marius Gentaz’s son-in-law. While the vineyards that belonged to Marius are now famously part of the Rostaing domaine, that vineyard goes to Rene’s Côte Brune; this is his Côte Blonde and arguably his most famous bottling. This 2004 pours a cloudy ruby with brambles, purple flowers, blood, dust and leather. Slightly rustic which is what I want from Rostaing. I love the individuality and how it paired with the Iberico pork cheek, mushroom ragu with lavender and thyme. Plenty of life left. Drink through 2034+. — a month ago
