The estate dates back to 1971 and today the estate produces four single-vineyard reds—La Landonne, Côte Blonde, Côte Brune, and La Viaillere. Rene’s son, Pierre Rostaing, who took over in 2015 after training with Dominique Lafon in Meursault, has introduced a refined, Burgundian influence while staying true to the region’s tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines are aged mainly in 600-litre demi-muid casks to allow for gentle micro-oxygenation, with less than 10% new oak used to keep the oak nuances subtle. This technical approach results in wines that clearly express the unique terroir of Côte Rôtie with precision and elegance, and with the estate’s unique perfumed intensity and combination of delicacy and power clearly shining through. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process results in a wine that not only reflects the complex terroir of Côte Rôtie but also showcases a sophisticated balance between power and perfumed elegance, in true Rostaing style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInformation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003eRed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e2016\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003eFrance\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNorthern Rhone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCote Rotie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e100% Syrah\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003eBold and Structured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003eDry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e14%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e2018 - 2032\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood match:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\"\u003eLamb\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe choose our wines based on a range of criteria\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(see\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/pages\/how-we-choose-our-wines\"\u003ehow we choose our wines\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof which critic scores is just\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eone\u003c\/u\u003e. Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaverage critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"100% Syrah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55636770652536,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5452\/6614\/files\/red-wine-rene-rostaing-ampodium-cote-rotie-2015-1158900309.jpg?v=1745587538","url":"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/products\/rene-rostaing-ampodium-cote-rotie-2016","provider":"The Perfect Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
