Rene Rostaing, Cote-Rotie Ampodium, 2015
The flagship blend, assembled from 20 different parcels across 15-16 named vineyard sites throughout Cote-Rotie, and now, from the great 2015 vintage, just easing into its drinking window. Ampodium (formerly called 'Classique') captures the full range of the appellation in one bottle: fruit from both Cote Brune and Cote Blonde, blended to show Cote-Rotie's complete personality. Rene Rostaing began in 1971; his son Pierre now manages over 20 acres of the appellation's finest sites, inherited from legends Marius Gentaz and Albert Dervieux. 2015 was a rich, structured, undeniably serious year in the Northern Rhone, and this bottle still carries that density, so give it a good decant. The most accessible Rostaing, but don't mistake accessibility for simplicity.
