The 2023 Domaine René Rostaing Côte-Rôtie La Landonne Magnum (1500ml) is a profound single-vineyard Syrah from one of the Northern Rhône’s most revered terroirs. Sourced from the steep slopes of La Landonne, this wine represents the more structured and powerful side of Côte-Rôtie, delivering exceptional concentration, depth and ageing potential. The magnum format further enhances its ability to mature slowly and develop remarkable complexity over time.
The nose is deep and intensely layered, revealing aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and dark plum alongside notes of cracked black pepper, smoked meat, graphite and olive tapenade. On the palate, it is full-bodied and firmly structured, with concentrated dark fruit, vibrant acidity and finely woven tannins. Savoury mineral nuances and spice build across the palate, leading to a long, powerful and exceptionally persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a serious collector’s wine and a benchmark expression of Côte-Rôtie from one of the region’s most respected producers. The magnum format is ideal for long-term cellaring, allowing the wine to reveal additional layers of complexity and refinement over decades. Pair with slow-roasted lamb, venison, beef rib roast or richly flavoured game dishes. Enjoy with extended decanting in its youth or cellar confidently for 20–30 years and beyond.
