Dark and winey, with waves of cassis, steeped plum and warmed cherry preserves rolling through, all laced with dried anise, black tea and mesquite notes. The long finish picks up a savory edge and a well-buried iron note. For the cellar. Best from 2023 through 2040.
Producer
Domaine Guigal
Three generations of the Guigal family have worked on this plot of land in the Côte-Rôtie that is over 24-centuries-old. As one of today’s most famous wine producers in France’s northern Rhône, the Guigal Estate was created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the village of Ampuis. His son Marcel took over the maison in 1961, expanding the family’s vineyard holdings. He also simultaneously bettered their overall reputation. Marcel was named Decanter Man of the Year in 2006, while his son, Philippe now acts as the operating oenologist for the domaine. The E. Guigal brand represents a rather broad collection of wines from the Rhône Valley, as the largest producer in Côte-Rôtie the firm also works as a négociant, buying grapes for some of their labels. Their three single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie productions, La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque stand out worldwide as consistent red models from the appellation. E. Guigal also offers a large lists of other wines, the dense and concentrated Hermitage, the refined St. Joseph, as well as the famous Condrieus, just to name a few.
