E. Guigal is one of the most notable wine producers in the Rhône Valley. It was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, a village near the famous roasted slopes of the Côte Rôtie,with a long history of winegrowing, and today has plots throughout the Rhône. Guigal makes wines from classic Mediterranean varieties like Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier and Roussanne, although the focus has always been on Syrah and Côte Rôtie.
The company's sizeable holdings run the length of the valley, encompassing Saint-Joseph, Hermitage, Gigondas, Condrieu and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, making wines in each, as well as a couple of Côte du Rhône wines. However, Guigal's most notable wines – La Landonne, La Turque and La Mouline – are all from Côte Rôtie, and are some of the most sought-after wines in the region. In fact, all three have had 100-point Robert Parker scores for multiple vintages.

Rating | RP99 - A fully mature example of La Mouline the huge smoky bacon fat cassis-scented perfume jumps from the glass of this seductive hedonistic wine. The 1982 has been delicious from birth due to its low acidity and fat open-knit character. There is no amber or lightening at the edge of its dark ruby/purple color. The wine exhibits a thick unctuous texture gobs of fruit and plenty of heady alcohol in the blockbuster finish. |
