Rostaing has a spectacular terroir for Condrieu from which he fashioned the 2007 Condrieu La Bonnette. Flowery, apricot jam, white peach, honeysuckle, and caramelized tropical fruit notes are present in this deep, full-bodied, supple white wine. It should drink well for 1-2 years. One of the benchmark producers of Cote Rotie, Rene Rostaing’s wines are made in a classic, traditional style, and are aged in either demi-muids or small barrels, a tiny percentage of which is new. Rostaing’s 25 acres spread throughout heritage sites on the two hillsides of the Cote Blonde and Cote Brune include some of the finest vineyards of the appellation.
