One of Rostaing’s offerings that tends to be overlooked is his Condrieu la Bonnette. Fashioned from grapes grown in decomposed granite soils, the 2004 exhibits a liqueur of stone-like character along with notes of litchi nuts and tropical fruits in a full-bodied, well-delineated, mineral and floral style. It is best consumed over the next two years. Importer: Manny Berk, The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
