Joe Czerwinski for Robert Parker

The absolutely perfect 2012 Côte Rôtie La Landonne is the star of three single vineyards. With its complex, concentrated and full-bodied style, it is incredibly sexy. It shows complex aromas of black fruits, ripe tannins, a medium-bodied palate and notes of black fruits, burnt earth, caramelized meat and crushed rock that really kick into high gear. While this cuvée usually takes a decade to become drinkable, here there is a sweetness of fruit that allows it to offer incredible enjoyment even now.

winery

E. Guigal The winery is located in Ampuis, in the heart of the northern Rhône Valley, where it sits on the steep slopes of the famous Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Hermitage appellations. The Guigals are known for their dedication to the craft of viticulture and their passion for producing quality wines. The French négociant E.& M. Guigal was founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal in Ampuis, a small village in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. Étienne accompanied 67 wine vintages in the Côte-Rôtie. His son Marcel Guigal took over management in 1961 and made a significant contribution to improving quality. Marcel Guigal became internationally known in the mid-1980s thanks to the highest ratings from wine journalist Robert M. Parker. He is considered one of the best winemakers in the world.  His son Philippe is now the domaine's oenologist and, together with his wife Eve, he represents the third generation in the family business. The vineyards extend over 20 hectares on the best steep slopes of the Côte-Rôtie appellation.
