René Rostaing
Côte Rôtie, La Landonne, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
A spectacular, mineral-driven Côte Rôtie full of energy and panache, tight and forceful red and black berries with an immense finish. An extremely steep, schist-rich site, 100% fermented with whole bunches and aged in large demi-muid casks, a maximum of 10% of which are new.

94/100Nicolas Greinacher,Vinous
The 2023 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne initially unfolds with alluring black fruits, stemmy aromatic cues, pencil shavings and delicately woven orange rind adding a floral lift. Crushed violets add more nuance. Built around a fresh core of bright acidity and remarkably smooth tannins, the 2023 is a well-structured and expressive La Landonne that's going to be hard to resist in its youth due to its immediate charm. Enjoy it while waiting for the 2022 to come around.
