The Domaine Rostaing Côte-Rôtie Côte Blonde 1998, crafted in the Northern Rhône, is a mature Syrah, lightly vinified in the Viognier style, from a classic vintage and sourced from the prestigious Côte Blonde vineyard. Its bouquet offers notes of blackberry, black cherry, and violet, with evolved hints of leather, truffle, and spice, complemented by touches of smoked meat and graphite. The palate is ample and harmonious, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity that underscore the fruit's development. Its schist minerality is enhanced by subtle French oak, highlighting Rostaing's traditional winemaking. The finish is long and elegant, with refined complexity. Perfect to accompany roast game, grilled lamb or mature cheeses, this Côte-Rôtie is a true collector's treasure, reflecting the terroir of the Northern Rhône and offering a refined tasting experience to enthusiasts in search of a well-aged, rich and fine Syrah.
