Indeed, theC\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie appellation<\/strong> is the oldest in the Rh\u00f4ne Valley. Some even refer to it as the \"original site of vine cultivation in Gaul\". Just a few kilometers south of Vienne, vineyards cling to the steep, south-southeast-facing slopes of the C\u00f4te Brune and C\u00f4te Blonde on the right bank of the Rh\u00f4ne. More than 230 hectares are planted on the right bank of the Rh\u00f4ne. A historic vineyard, the oldest and most northerly of all the C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne. We're still fortunate to be able to preserve this richness in France, as the vineyard almost disappeared in the 19th century. Why was this? It's extremely difficult to work the vines on the different terroirs. Find out more about the great estates of Cote Rotie 2015<\/a>, Cote Rotie 2016<\/a> and Cote Rotie 2017<\/a> at the best price on the site. There are two terroirs in C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie<\/strong> The C\u00f4te Blonde to the south, composed of gneiss and arzels (clayey sands). And the C\u00f4te Brune to the north, composed of iron-rich micaschists. These wines are renowned for their authenticity, quality and richness on the palate. Every wine lover should taste a great C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie. The C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie wine prices<\/strong> have been rising in recent years, but it's still possible to buy them without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ranking of the best vintages by Robert Parker & The Wine Advocate.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Founded in 1946 by \u00c9tienne Guigal in Ampuis, the Domaine Guigal<\/strong>\u00a0owns an incredible vineyard, where vines and prestigious wines have been celebrated for around 2400 years.

A wine for laying down, it can be enjoyed for 30 years or more, depending on the vintage.<\/p>\n The best Guigal - La Landonne vintages: 1990, 1999, 2005, 2012, 2010<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guigal's Mouline \"Cote Blonde\" is made up of terraced vines in the shape of a Roman amphitheater.

Taking over from his father Michel Ogier, he began to work meticulously on the different terroirs, with the aim of revealing the unique character and personality of these historic sites.<\/p>\n St\u00e9phane Ogier's cuv\u00e9e La Belle H\u00e9l\u00e8ne is a pure marvel, one of the estate's greatest cuv\u00e9es, but also one of the greatest wines of the C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie AOC, a hallmark of the C\u00f4te-Brune region. Made from Syrah, this wine reveals a woody side, a cuv\u00e9e that shows incredible suppleness, the quality of the fruit is admirable. An inky-purple color, followed by notes of pen ink, graphite, forest floor, licorice and abundant black and blue fruit. It should be cellared for 5-6 years, and can develop for over 25 years in the best vintages.<\/p>\n Best vintages of Domaine Ogier's La Belle H\u00e9l\u00e8ne: 2010, 2009, 1999, 2015, 2012<\/p>\n Visit\u00a0Domaine Ren\u00e9 Rostaing<\/strong>\u00a0produced the first cuv\u00e9e in 1971. This winery is renowned the world over, in particular for its C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie<\/span>\u00a0:\u00a0Ampodium - C\u00f4te Blonde - La Landonne<\/strong>. An important vineyard in the C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie appellation with 7 hectares. Each of these cuv\u00e9es has one thing in common: their structure and finesse. Domaine Ren\u00e9 Rostaing produces wines of great renown, but the main difficulty is the limited number of vintners. These wines are hard to find in France.<\/p>\n Rostaing's \"C\u00f4te-Blonde\" cuv\u00e9e is one of the estate's elite, and one of the finest C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie wines. Quality is raised to a very high level. A remarkable personality revealing exotic notes of blond tobacco and cinnamon. Floral notes with violet. Refined rannins, incredible length on the palate. Here, the soil is poor, mineral (mica, silica) and filtering, forming the famous \"arzel\" from the slow decomposition of schistose bedrock. The cuv\u00e9e is composed of 95 % Syrah and 5 % Viognier. This cuv\u00e9e can develop for 30 years in the best vintages.<\/p>\n Best Ren\u00e9 Rostaing C\u00f4te Blonde vintages: 1999, 2010, 2012, 2003, 1998<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Michel Chapoutier<\/strong>Marius Chapoutier's grandson, and Max Chapoutier's son, takes over the company, which was in the shadows at the time. He built his international reputation on his northern C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne crus. He imposed biodynamic viticulture on his vineyards, and has been marketing his wines with the famous Braille label since 1996. Michel Chapoutier has multiplied his sales by twenty in twenty years! He is audacious and demanding when it comes to production quality.<\/p>\n Chapoutier's Cuv\u00e9e C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie \"La Mordor\u00e9e\" is essentially composed of Syrah from 60-year-old vines. This terroir develops on a soil of chlorite and ferruginous micaschists, mixed in depressions of loess and earth veins. The parcel in which this cuv\u00e9e is planted lies on the edge of the C\u00f4te-Blonde<\/strong>. The wines are of incredible quality, with a deep red color, a nose of red fruits and floral notes. There are hints of raspberry, violet, exotic spices, black olives, tapenade and rosemary. Depending on the vintage, the wine can be cellared for 30 to 60 years.<\/p>\n Best vintages of Chapoutier's \"La Mordor\u00e9e\": 1991, 2015, 2012, 2003, 2009<\/p>\n \n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n St\u00e9phane Ogier's \"Lancement\" vintage<\/strong> is 100% Syrah and comes from the southernmost end of the appellation (C\u00f4te-Blonde). Spectacular fruit, sweet berry, bacon, bell pepper and pheasant notes flow into a mouthful of sensation and length. Full-bodied and incredibly textured, this is a complex wine that develops incredibly well over the years.<\/p>\n Stephane Ogier's best vintages \"Lancement\": 2010, 2009, 2015, 2007, 2011<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ch\u00e2teau d'Ampuis by Maison Guigal<\/strong> is a great wine that will keep for at least 20 years in the cellar. Another great C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie, developed from 93% of Syrah and 7% of Viognier. These are very old vines, planted as far back as the 16th century. Maison Guigal produces around 30,000 bottles a year. This is an exceptional wine, with a deep, dark color and mauve highlights. On the nose, spicy notes and delicate woody aromas come through. It's dense, expressive and intense. On the palate, this is a racy, tannic wine. Aromas of prunes, blackberry and vanilla are also noticeable. Powerful, concentrated and structured on the palate.<\/p>\n M<\/strong>best vintages of Guigal \"Ch\u00e2teau d'Ampuis\": 2010, 2015, 2009, 2005, 2003<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More than 50 wines and 15 vintages of C\u00f4te R\u00f4tie in stock<\/p>\n \n<\/blockquote>\n Since 1976, the Jamet estate<\/strong> has grown considerably. Jean-Paul Jamet began winemaking with his father Joseph in the 1976 vintage. Together, they developed the vineyard and wine-making process, but Jean-Paul was quick to take the initiative and make the choices. With forty years of winemaking experience behind him, he remains convinced that the richness of a wine lies precisely in its terroir. Far removed from successive fashions, he opts for blending the different expressions of C\u00f4te R\u00f4tie to sublimate their complementarity. The house produces great C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie wines, renowned and sought-after by connoisseurs.<\/p>\n The \"\u00a0C\u00f4te-Brune\" by Domaine Jamet<\/strong> is one of the best Cote-Rotie wines, and is the Domaine's only parcel selection. It was created in 1976. It's a complex wine based on 100% Syrah. It can be cellared for 20 to 30 years, depending on the vintage. It presents phenomenal notes of black raspberry, blackcurrant, olive tapenade, incense and bacon fat. Full-bodied, concentrated and textured.<\/p>\n Best Jamet \"C\u00f4te-Brune\" vintages: 2011, 2015, 2012, 2014, 2013<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since 1996, the\u00a0Maison Delas Fr\u00e8res<\/strong>\u00a0whose roots go back to 1835, has rediscovered the ambition that contributed to its renown. Under the impetus of new management, numerous investments have been made at the Saint-Jean-de-Muzols production site, near Tournon-sur-Rh\u00f4ne. A motivated team is proudly participating in the qualitative renewal of this Grande Maison of the Rh\u00f4ne Valley: a vat room specially designed for the vinification of red wines, and the complete restructuring of the ageing cellar are among the key elements of Maison Delas' quality approach, summed up in one phrase: perpetuating and sublimating the expression of Terroir.<\/p>\n Maison Delas' \"La Landonne\" cuv\u00e9e is made from 100%. The first vintage of this cuv\u00e9e dates back to 1997. This wine is only made in very good years. Production never exceeds 2,500 bottles. Intense color with violet highlights. A deep, complex nose, with notes of fruit, licorice and roasting. Ample and generous on the palate, with a persistent finish.
