Rene Rostaing, Cote-Rotie Cuvee Classique Ampodium, 2009
Classic, perfumed Côte-Rôtie from a master of the appellation, now showing graceful maturity. René Rostaing's Ampodium (formerly labeled Cuvée Classique) is his estate blend, assembled from many parcels scattered across Côte-Rôtie, all 100% Syrah and aged in seasoned barrels with only a touch of new oak so the terroir does the talking. The name nods to the Provençal word for Ampuis, the village at the heart of the appellation. The 2009 came from a warm, ripe Northern Rhône vintage, and after fifteen-plus years it has unfurled into a savory, complex wine where Côte-Rôtie's signature floral and bacon-fat notes meet mature, secondary depth. A benchmark grower's wine at its peak.
