E. Guigal La Landonne – Cote-Rotie – Red – 2021:

 

Guigal La Landonne: The Pinnacle of Northern Rhône Syrah

La Landonne is the powerhouse of the E. Guigal estate, a single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie that demands respect and time. Hailing from the steep, iron-rich slopes of the Côte Brune, this 100% Syrah is famed for its incredible density, structure, and almost endless longevity, making it a true collector’s item.

Tasting Profile & Craftsmanship

• Appearance: An impenetrably deep red-black hue.
• Aroma: A highly complex and intense bouquet featuring black cherry, crushed stones, thyme, cracked pepper, espresso, and cured meat.
• Taste: Full-bodied and concentrated with a massive tannic core. The wine is built like a skyscraper, delivering waves of dark berries and spice, with a chewy texture and incredible drive that promises decades of evolution.

Serving Suggestion

A wine of this calibre must be treated with reverence. We strongly advise decanting for a minimum of three hours and serving between 16°C and 18°C to allow its many layers to unfold.

• Pairings: Roast Venison Haunch with Redcurrant Gravy, Game Pie, Beef Wellington, Mature Stilton or Aged Cheddar.
