The impact and influence of the Guigal family across the Rhône Valley, France, and all the world of fine wine is so immense, it’s sometimes difficult to remember that it’s all happened so quickly. In a country with such a rich and deep wine history, the Guigal family’s story is only in its third generation. Their wines are the benchmarks for every Rhone appellation, and over the last thirty years they have become arguably the most lauded producer in the world. Year after year the Guigal family produces wines of exceptional quality that offer exceptional value across their broad range of production.
The Côte-Rôtie « La Mouline » is one of the most emblematic of the Guigal domain’s wines. Small quantities are produced each year from a vineyard in the heart of the ‘côte blonde’. This is a voluptuous, silky and intensely aromatic wine.
The soil is terraced in the shape of a Roman amphitheatre. Gneis with lighly colred silicone soil with limestone lœss.
Blend: 89% Syrah, 11% Viognier

TASTING NOTES
What's in the Glass
- PAIRS WITH
- Lamb · Duck
Red Wine. The wine spends 42 months in French oak. The nose is of small red fruits, blackberry and floral violet aromas.Intensely aromatic, powerful but full of finesse. In the mouth, the wine is supple with balance between the finesse of the aromas and an explosive richness due to the concentration of the wine. Greatly expressive of the terroir. The wine is a feminine wine with voluptuous silky texture and intense aromas.
