E. Guigal La Mouline – Cote-Rotie – Red – 2016:

 

The Iconic Northern Rhône Masterpiece

The GUIGAL CÔTE RÔTIE LA MOULINE RED is one of the world’s most collectible and revered wines. Sourced from a historic single-vineyard plot on the Côte Blonde-known for its lighter, silica-rich soils-this bottling is often called the most ‘feminine’ and aromatic of Guigal’s legendary ‘La La’ trilogy. It represents the pinnacle of Syrah co-fermented with Viognier.

Tasting Profile & Critical Acclaim

• Appearance: Deep ruby red with bright vermillion highlights.
• Nose: An incredibly intense and perfumed bouquet. Expect rich black raspberry and blackberry fruit mingling with signature floral notes of crushed violet, exotic spice, roasted herbs, and a savory hint of smoked meat or bacon fat.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated, yet remarkably refined and seamless. The texture is voluptuous and silky, delivering a core of dark cherries and spices in harmony. Ultra-fine tannins provide structure for decades of evolution. This wine is pure, rich, and sexy.

Pairing & Cellaring Potential

This is a desert island wine. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C). Its incredible balance and concentration mean it will evolve beautifully for 15-30+ years. Do not miss the chance to cellar this icon.
