Leading luxury publication Robb Report has published is annual Best of the Best issue for 2019. There is a dedicated section devoted to wine, written by columnist Sara Schneider. Unsurprisingly, the E. Guigal La Mouline 2014 is among her absolute top recommendations in the red wine category. She offers background on the Guigal family vineyards in Cote-Rotie, and says of the wine that “La Mouline shows what gorgeous balance wine age can produce. Its dark berry fruit is concentrated and layered with an earthy smoked-meat character, with delicate floral aromas, and there’s a subtle silky quality to the wine…”

Côte-Rôtie
First planted by the Romans 2,500 years ago, La Mouline is the oldest and most famous vineyard of Cote-Rotie, and Guigal’s single vineyard bottling of La Mouline in the 1960s set off a quality revolution throughout the Rhone Valley. The stunning amphitheater is the most complex plot in Cote-Rotie due to its extremely steep slopes with expositions in every direction. Of the three famous “LaLas” that Guigal produces and are the most collectible wines of the Rhone Valley, La Mouline was the first and is the only one on the Cote Blonde, and its signature is an unbelievable exoticism, an irresistibly and unique lifted floral, black fruit, earthy, spicy perfume, its coiled power always in balance, seemingly endless.
