Joe Czerwinski for Robert Parker

Impenetrably dense and dark, the 2015 Côte Rôtie La Landonne is full of black olive, espresso and cassis fruit. It is full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture with a seemingly endless finish, yet never overbearing or overripe, it is lively and fun from start to finish. At the moment the tannins are strong, giving the wine a dry, dusty finish, so give it a decade to mature before opening a bottle.

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.
