Tasting notes
Rostaing’s 2023 Côte-Rôtie Côte Brune is superb, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark plum, violet, timut pepper, spice, tapenade and dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it is impeccably balanced, built around a tensile, vibrant core of fruit and a finely judged framework of tannins that confers both power and precision. The finish is long and ethereal, marked by lingering notes of rose petal. One of the high points at this address in 2023, it stands out as a benchmark rendition of Côte Brune.

Gorgeous black raspberries, smoky herbs, violets, and a beautiful sense of minerality all define the aromatics of the 2023 Côte Rôtie Côte Brune, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, graceful, layered yet focused mouthfeel, just about perfect tannins, and a great finish. It will need just 4-5 years of bottle age and should evolve for two decades. Drink 2030-2045.
The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Côte Brune lets out early fragrances of pronounced orange rind, dried violets, gently detailed elderflower, stems and black cherry brush trails. Sumptuously weighted, dense and concentrated, the 2023 is a serious Côte Brune from the talented Pierre Rostaing. Profoundly structured, it winds down with stunning length and breadth on the long finale.
The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Côte Brune is another standout from the talented Pierre Rostaing. Alluring black cherry, black plum, fresh violet, crushed rock, graphite and a flicker of licorice are all pushed forward on the nose. Neatly framed by ripe tannins, the medium- to full-bodied 2023 is meticulously structured on one hand, yet lets the intense aromatics shine equally strong. Stacked with substantial energy and concentration, the 2023 is utterly promising, even at this very early stage.
