The 2022 Domaine Rene Rostaing Côte-Rôtie Ampodium Half Bottle (375ml) is a refined and expressive Northern Rhône Syrah that delivers the estate’s signature style in a more approachable format. Sourced from a blend of multiple parcels across Côte-Rôtie, it offers a complete and balanced expression of the appellation, combining depth, elegance and drinkability. The nose is layered and aromatic, showing black cherry, blackberry and red plum, intertwined with notes of violet, pepper, roasted herbs and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a supple, polished texture and fine, ripe tannins. Juicy dark and red fruit flavours are supported by fresh acidity and a mineral edge, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is harmonious and structured, with both immediate appeal and aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, the 375ml format is perfect for customers who want to explore a benchmark Côte-Rôtie without committing to a full bottle. It’s also ideal for shorter-term cellaring or more intimate dining occasions. Drink from 2025 or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with lamb, grilled meats, game or rich, savoury dishes.
