James Suckling - May 05, 2025 "Bright and lifted red-fruit aromas of wild strawberries, confit cherry, rose petals and citrus peel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity, finishing with an earthy undertone.…

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 2020
Cote-Rotie
November 21, 2025 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline comes from the oldest vineyard site in the appellation, with terraces dating back 2,400 years. Acquired in 1963, it was the Guigals’ first single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie, with the debut vintage released in 1966. The one-hectare vineyard sits on the Côte Blonde and is planted with about 11% Viognier, contributing to the wine’s lifted aromatics and signature elegance. With vines averaging 90 years old, La Mouline is known for its expressive, silky style—often considered the most graceful of Guigal’s iconic trio.

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2020
Cote-Rotie
November 21, 2025 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is a bold, muscular expression of the Côte Brune, known for its structure, intensity, and ageability. Marcel Guigal pieced together this vineyard over a decade, buying small parcels from 17 growers before replanting it in 1975—the year of Philippe Guigal’s birth. Its steep 45-degree slope and late-ripening position at the northern end of the Côte Brune yield fruit of remarkable depth. First produced in 1978, La Landonne is the darkest and most powerful of the LaLa wines, offering a striking contrast to the finesse of La Mouline.
Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "Notes of green bell pepper, spices, pepper, iris, violet and dark berries introduce the 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, a full-bodied, concentrated and structured wine with a multidimensional core of fruit,…
Wine Spectator - December 15, 2024 "A massive, powerful and densely packed red, with a pleasingly chewy texture -- the kind of wine to eat with a fork. Yet this shows impressive grace despite its weight,…
