ELEVAGE® Rene Rostaing Cote Rotie – 6045377364127

98 Points – Jeb Dunnuck:
“Just about perfection in a glass, the 2017 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde is more plush and sexy compared to the La Landonne and has a beautiful, incredibly floral character as well as notes of crème de cassis, mulberries, black raspberries, spice, and new crushed violets. Full-bodied, seamless, and polished, it’s an incredible expression of the Côte Blonde and has its own singular character. Drink it any time over the coming 20-25 years.” – Jeb Dunnuck (12/12/2019)

98 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“Even better than last year, the recently bottled 2017 Cote Rotie La Cote Blonde was singing when I tasted it back in July. Floral and berry notes accent mocha-tinged aromas in this medium to full-bodied wine. It’s silky, long and intense, with a couple of decades of life ahead of it. It’s simply difficult to describe the waves of savory complexity this wine now shows, coupled with a succulent texture and tremendous length.” – Joe Czerwinski (19th Dec 2019)

94-96 Points – Vinous:
“Deep, brilliant ruby color. A highly
aromatic bouquet evokes ripe black/blue fruits, peony, exotic spices and
smoky minerals. Smooth and focused on the palate, offering deeply
concentrated, yet lively black raspberry, boysenberry floral pastille,
spicecake flavors and building spiciness. Finishes smooth, sappy and
impressively long, with chewy tannins lending shape and grip to
lingering dark berry and floral tastes.” Josh Raynolds – (Jul 2019)
