René Rostaing
Côte Rôtie, La Vialliere, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
A model of violet, brine and powdery acidity that Pierre describes as being “super classic” in 2024. A small parcel of 90-year-old vines just under Les Grandes Places that is back in the range as a single vineyard wine since 2016. It is only bottled in vintages where its stylish and elegant character is very clear.

91-93/100Nicolas Greinacher,Vinous
Intense peppercorn, crushed violets and stemmy inflections introduce the complex 2024 Côte-Rôtie La Viallière. Medium-bodied and dense, the 2024 is built around a fine line of acidity, following through with spicy tones on the elegant epilogue. Fingers crossed it can pick up a little more substance and length during the remainder of its élevage.
