The addition of Viognier adds a delicate aromatic complexity, making this wine a true expression of the unique terroir from which it originates.

The palate is greeted with a supple balance between the finesse of the aromatic profile and an explosive richness attributed to the wine’s concentration. Notes of bloody black and blue fruits, tapenade, salted meat, woodsmoke, and a hint of violets create a kaleidoscope of flavors, co-fermented with a significant portion of Viognier to achieve a full-bodied richness. Aged for 42 months in new oak barriques, this wine marries the boldness of Guigal Syrah with the elegance and suppleness that are characteristic of E. Guigal La Mouline, resulting in a voluptuous, silky, and intensely aromatic experience.

Why is Cote Rotie so expensive?

Côte-Rôtie wines are expensive due to their limited production in steep, labor-intensive vineyards, high demand among collectors, exceptional quality, and aging potential. The unique terroir, traditional winemaking practices, and strict AOC regulations further contribute to their prestige and cost, making them highly sought after and valued.

Is Guigal wine good?

Guigal wines are renowned for their quality across the Rhône Valley, from everyday offerings to collectible "La La" wines (La Mouline, La Landonne, La Turque). Esteemed for meticulous winemaking and aging, Guigal excels in expressing Rhône's terroir, earning acclaim for both their accessible and premium bottles.

Critical Acclaim

WS 96

Wine Spectator

Meaty, chewy and gamy, this substantial red shows beautiful floral lift, with salty mineral energy cruising alongside earthy notes of forest floor, revealing a swatch of black fig puree and mocha. Offers depth, substance and textural beauty, with mouthwatering acidity adding surprising tension and brightness through the dark core. Just beginning to show its tremendous potential. Best from 2025 through 2042.

WA 96

Wine Advocate

While just as aromatic and charming on the nose—where ephemeral floral notes join ripe cherries—as previous years, the 2019 Cote Rotie La Mouline isn't quite as impressive on the palate. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and caressing, without the same power, yet it's supremely elegant.

DEC 93

Decanter

There's a touch of currant on the nose here which gives a very ripe impression. Cola oak dominates the palate at this early stage, and the finish is dry. It's powerful and structured, and the intense oak and alcohol combine to give a sweet effect on the finish. Attractive aromatics lie in wait underneath the oak, so give this time. Gneiss and loess soils of lieu-dit Côte Blonde. Fermented in stainless steel, aged for 40 months in new oak barriques.

TWC 98

TheWineCellarInsider.com

Violets, espresso, black and red plums, smoke, and dark red berries permeate the nose. On the palate, the wine quickly asserts its opulent nature. The layers of exotically textured, silky, elegant, and refined fruits with all their purity stays with you for close to 60 seconds in the exotic, sensual finish. The wine blends 89% Syrah with 11% Viognier. Philippe Guigal thinks this reminds him of the 1988.

JD 100

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a bigger, richer Côte Rôtie. Co-fermented with a solid chuck of Viognier and around 85% destemmed (the same as the La Turque), this full-bodied effort has a kaleidoscope-like bouquet of bloody black and blue fruits, tapenade, salted meat, woodsmoke, and a touch of violets. This cuvée is always an exotic wine, and the 2019 is no exception, offering full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, plenty of structure, and a great finish.

JS 97

James Suckling

Great nose of summer flowers and ripe blackberries with a glaze of toasty oak. A very graceful wine in spite of all the power and concentration. Feels almost weightless until you get to the finish where you feel the enormous structure that lurks just below the surface. A cuvee of 89% syrah and 11% viognier. Matured in 100% new oak for 42 months. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, Senior Editor

VIN 98

Vinous

Bright, highly perfumed blueberry, black raspberry, violet and exotic spice aromas, along with a wild touch of blood orange. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering intense red and blue fruit flavors that stain the palate while showing little in the way of excess weight. Finishes extremely long and sweet, with a building floral note, even tannins and a late jolt of five-spice powder. By Josh Raynokis on March 2020
