The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Probably the most famous trilogy in the history of wine ... The House Guigal and its mythical "lalala" of Côte Rôtie ... An exceptional offer reserved for VIP +.

Maison Guigal is the pinnacle of French viticulture today…a fantastic success story coupled with a tremendous human adventure that truly does it all: from producing large volumes with unwavering quality and regularity to delivering amazing parcel-based wines. Icons of the Rhone Valley viticulture, never equaled in their supremacy, the mythical Côtes-Rôties Mouline, Landonne and Turque are the illustrious testimony of this success. Masterfully vinified, built for aging, powerful, full and of a rare finesse, these are wines that transcend all emotion. They are timeless, anchored for eternity in the pantheon of the world's wine heritage.

These treasures are regularly praised by Robert Parker. The 2019 vintage, which has just been released, follows in the footsteps of its predecessors and is already among the most successful of the last two decades.
Wine From the historic "Côte Blonde" hillside, the 2019 Red Côte Rôtie La Mouline retains its legendary finesse and charm. This confidential wine (1.4 hectares of Syrah) expresses a high degree of elegance, punctuated by notes of violet and black cherry. With its delicate character, it has an additional gracefulness that will please those who prefer finesse; its power is of course there, surrounded by caressing and silky tannins, which are supremely refined. Here it is, ready to unfold over the next twenty years, in pure delight! Rated 94-96/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested, vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, extraction by regular pumping over, aged for 40 months in new barrels.
