Domaine Rostaing _ 2015 - Rene Rostaing Les Lezardes Viognier _ 750 ml.

Domaine Rostaing, often called René Rostaing after its founder, is a leading wine estate in the Côte-Rôtie region of the Northern Rhône, and particularly known for its Syrah wines. The first Rostaing wine was produced in 1971 when the estate covered a mere 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) split between the Côte Blonde and La Landonne sub-regions. This slowly grew as Rostaing purchased additional plots and the took over his uncle's and his father-in-law's vineyards. Today the domaine has just over 7ha (18 acres) of vineyards in Côte Rôtie – which is quite large by the region's standards – plus 1ha (2.5 acres) in Condrieu, which produces the La Bonnette cuvee. Rostaing also owns a small plot in Lézardes, on the northern border of Côte Rôtie, where he makes Syrah and Viognier wines under the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes designation
