The impenetrably dark 2019 Cote Rotie La Landonne represents the essence of this fabled lieu-dit, combining peppery, herbal notions with espresso and roasted meat, all carried by ample plum and black cherry fruit. It's full-bodied, concentrated, richly tannic and long on the finish—simply a superb wine that should be flirting with perfection when it is released in a couple of years.
The undisputed star of the cellar this vintage (at least at this stage), the 2020 Cote Rotie La Landonne is not only unbelievably complex on the nose—with an awesome stew of vegetal-herbal nuances blended with cassis and smoked meat—but full-bodied, concentrated, velvety-textured and remarkably long and tannic. Patience will be required.
The 2017 Cote Rotie La Landonne is 100% whole cluster, yet the stemminess—at the moment—is represented on the nose as just the merest hint of fresh pea shoots. As always, La Landonne is a bastion of strength and power, with dark flavors that range from black cherries and plums to smoke, roasted meat and on into mocha and espresso. Full-bodied and densely concentrated, with a long, long finish, it's the most impressive of Guigal's single-vineyard Cote Roties this vintage.
A wine that's certainly not for those seeking instant gratification, the 2010 Cote Rotie la Landonne is a powerhouse Cote Rotie that offers up deep, masculine notes of crushed rocks, smoked meats, game, espresso and assorted dark cassis and currant-like fruit. Full-bodied, tight, structured and backward, with fabulous mid-palate density and length, it needs to be forgotten in the cellar for a decade, but will have 40-50 years of overall longevity.

Domaine E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is a prestigious red wine with a rich taste profile. Expect a complex blend of dark fruits, blackberries, and hints of spice on the palate, complemented by a subtle smokiness and earthy undertones. The aroma is intense, with notes of black pepper, violets, and a touch of leather, creating a luxurious sensory experience. What sets this wine apart is its exceptional depth and concentration, showcasing the true essence of the Côte-Rôtie terroir.

This wine is perfect for special occasions and celebrations, where its elegance and sophistication can be fully appreciated. Pair it with hearty dishes like roasted lamb, game meats, or aged cheeses to enhance its bold flavors. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply indulging in a luxurious evening at home, Domaine E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is sure to impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.

The 2005 Cote Rotie la Landonne is utterly profound, and is certainly in the same league as the '10, '09, '03, '99, '90, '89 and other incredible vintages (the list of top vintages here is almost too long to list). Inky colored, structured, tannic, massively concentrated and still with phenomenal texture and richness, it has the classic dark fruits, tapenade and meatiness of the cuvee, but at age 10, is still an infant. It needs 4-5 years and will be a 50+ year wine.

The Northern Rhône wine region exploded in popularity in the mid 80’s and it was really down to two people, Etienne Guigal and Robert Parker. Etienne took over the vineyard in 1946, but it was his promotional efforts of the region combined with Robert Parker that put his wine on the map. Soon the Rhône Valley became famous as a wine region producing some of the most seductively elegant and aromatic wines in the world, Guigal’s Côte Rôtie being one of them.

E.Guigal is truly a family business with Marcel, Etienne’s son, taking over the business in 1961 with the help of wife Bernadette and today their son Phillipe and wife Eve represent the third generation of this iconic property.

Wine has been produced in the Rhône Valley for over 500 years, with some of its vineyards being amongst the oldest in France. Syrah rules over the south with a mix of Mediterranean grapes, while in the north, the two stars are Hermitage – grown on an imposing granite hillside above the town of Tain and best put away in the back of the cellar for a decade – and Côte-Rôtie, a star appellation made famous by Guigal's single-vineyard wines, yet also home to dozens of fine producers as yet less well known. The sheer hillsides overlooking the river have to be terraced to make production possible.

St Joseph and Cornas also provide wines of weight and worth, but the best source for good value is Crozes-Hermitage, a satellite appellation which has come alive in the last few years with the arrival of young blood.

The river valley widens out south of Valence into Côtes du Rhône country on the windy alluvial plains and the lower slopes of the hills. It is a most imposing sight during the cold, clear, blue skies of Mistral conditions. The best of the wine villages of the Côtes du Rhône have been promoted to their own appellations - Vinsobres, Vacqueyras - close in quality to the better known Gigondas.

The king of the southern Rhône is Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Here the galets roulés, rounded rocks from the ancient river bed, provide the context for gloriously rich red wines that are redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, and enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several grape varieties. Thirteen are permitted in all, but Grenache usually dominates, along with Syrah and Mourvèdre in support. A fine vintage needs eight to 10 years cellaring for best results.

If your taste runs to fuller, richer, relatively exotic white wines, then perhaps a white Hermitage or Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the Rhône Valley would suit better, or else a marvellously perfumed, heady Condrieu - headquarters of the Viognier grape.

Cote Rotie is a wine region located in the northern Rhone Valley of France. The name Cote Rotie translates to "roasted slope," which refers to the steep, south-facing hillsides where the vineyards are located. The region is known for producing some of the finest and most elegant red wines in the world.

The history of winemaking in Cote Rotie dates back to the Roman era, but it wasn't until the 16th century that the region began to gain recognition for its wines. In the 19th century, Cote Rotie became one of the most sought-after wines in Europe, and it was even served at the coronation of Queen Victoria.

The style of production in Cote Rotie is unique and labor-intensive. The vineyards are planted on steep slopes that require hand-harvesting, and the grapes are often fermented with the stems still attached. This technique, known as whole-cluster fermentation, adds complexity and structure to the wine.

Cote Rotie is made primarily from the Syrah grape, which is known for its dark fruit flavors and spicy notes. The wines are often blended with a small amount of Viognier, a white grape that adds floral aromas and a silky texture to the wine.

The wines of Cote Rotie are classified into two main styles: the traditional style and the modern style. The traditional style is characterized by its earthy, gamey flavors and firm tannins, while the modern style is fruitier and more approachable in its youth.

Some of the top producers in Cote Rotie include Guigal, Chapoutier, and Jaboulet. These producers are known for their commitment to quality and their ability to produce wines that are both powerful and elegant.

Overall, Cote Rotie is a region that produces some of the most sought-after wines in the world. Its unique terroir, labor-intensive production methods, and commitment to quality have made it a favorite among wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.
