Histoire du domaine
René Rostaing founded his estate in Ampuis in 1971, whilst still working part-time in the property sector. He began with a few family-owned plots, notably in the Côte Blonde and La Landonne areas. His uncle, Marius Gentaz, a Côte-Rôtie winegrower, was a major influence on his training. René Rostaing also benefited from the experience of his father-in-law, Albert Dervieux, a winegrower and mayor of Ampuis. Between the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the departure of these two men enabled René Rostaing to take over their vineyards, including several long-established plots in Côte-Rôtie. This expansion of the vineyard allowed him to devote himself entirely to the estate. The producer also developed wine-growing activities in the Languedoc, under the name Puech Noble. In 2015, Pierre Rostaing took over the management of the family estate and took charge of the winemaking. The estate now markets wines from Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes and Languedoc.
La Landonne
La Landonne is a single-parcel Côte-Rôtie produced separately from the estate's vines located in the eponymous lieu-dit. It differs from Ampodium, a blend of several terroirs, through its exclusive expression of this sector of the Côte Brune. It is one of the estate's historic single-parcel bottlings.
- Origin of the cuvée name
- The name comes from the cadastral lieu-dit La Landonne, in Côte-Rôtie, from which the separately vinified grapes originate.
- Cuvée creation year
- 1978
- Style of the cuvée
- Generally a dark, powerful, and structured expression of Côte-Rôtie, marked by firm tannins and significant aging potential, while maintaining the finesse sought after by the estate.
- Position within the range
- Prestigious single-parcel Côte-Rôtie, alongside Côte Blonde and positioned above the Ampodium blend.
Histoire de la cuvée
René Rostaing acquired a first small parcel in La Landonne at the start of his activity in 1971. A distinct La Landonne bottling is documented starting from the 1978 vintage. The estate's holdings in this lieu-dit were subsequently expanded with vines coming notably from Marius Gentaz.
