The 2000 Cote Rotie Cuvee Classique displays a deep ruby color with purple nuances as well as sweet cherry and black currant/raspberry fruit in a finesse-filled, light to medium-bodied style with no hard edges. Pure velvet in a sensual, somewhat superficial, but undeniably engaging/disarming style, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. Rene Rostaing is one of the most masterful growers and bottlers of Cote Rotie. Sadly, there is not much produced.P.S. Pierre Rovani has raved about this wine in the past, and readers should not miss the Domaine du Puech-Chaud from the Coteaux du Languedoc. A Syrah-dominated red, it is a rich, character-filled effort made from Rostaing’s Languedoc-Roussillon vineyards. The 2000 was roaring from the glass when I tasted it in the estate’s Cote Rotie cellars.Importer: At the time of writing, Rostaing was in the process of changing importers after leaving Kermit Lynch.
