Hedonism Meets... Philippe Guigal

January 26, 2021|Hedonism Wines

The Guigal family produce a dazzling range of wines - from village level all the way up to arguable the most prestigious single vineyards in all of France. The so-called "La Las", three single vineyard Côte Roties - La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque - are some of the most highly awarded and sought-after wines in the world and regularly receive perfect scores from top critics. Beyond Côte-Rotie, the family own holdings across the Rhône including Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Condrieu.

Founded in 1946, Domaine Guigal is one of the most revered and unwaveringly consistent estates in the Rhône Valley and is often seen as a benchmark for quality Côte-Rôtie. The top three wines from Guigal are known affectionately in some circles as the La La’s, which is short for La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. La Mouline is produced from Syrah and Viognier sourced from a 1-hectare plot of vines on the Côte Blonde, some of which are close to 100 years of age. The 1978 is one of the legendary releases of this wine and has twice received a perfect 100-point score from wine critic, Robert Parker Jr.

The top three wines from Guigal are known affectionately in some circles as the La La’s, which is short for La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. La Landonne made its debut in 1978 and is produced from 2 hectares of Syrah on the Côte Brune, vinified in stainless steel and aged in 100% new French oak for up to 42 months. Typically full-bodied and incredibly savoury, the 1995 exudes wonderful notes of black fruits, woodsmoke, tar, game, crushed stones and black pepper. Though perfect to drink now this will age at least another 5-10 years.

The 1989 is an incredibly rich wine with remarkably concentrated fruits, exceptional perfume and a seamless texture.

Founded in 1946, Domaine Guigal is one of the most revered and unwaveringly consistent estates in the Rhône Valley and is often seen as a benchmark for quality Côte-Rôtie. The top three wines from Guigal are known affectionately in some circles as the La La’s, which is short for La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. La Turque debuted in 1985 and is made from Syrah and Viognier (around 7%) from a single hectare of vines on the Côte Brune. Often with even greater density and tannin than its counterparts, La Turque is known for its richness and power. The 1989 release certainly lives up to that reputation with incredibly opulent black fruits and heady notes of woodsmoke, liquorice and olive tapenade.
