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 | RP100 - The 1990 La Landonne is a perfect wine! Fortunately over 800 cases were produced. It possesses an opaque black color and a huge truffle licorice cassis and peppery-scented nose. While it is one of the most concentrated wines I have ever poured across my palate it is perfectly balanced with adequate underlying acidity huge extraction of ripe fruit and tannin and a phenomenal 70 second or longer finish. This is the essence of Syrah! Give this monumental wine 7-10 years of cellaring it will last for 40-45+ years. The 1990 single vineyard Cote Roties which were released this spring are the Cote Roties of the vintage. 1990 was not an easy year in this appellation because of the severe drought and heat wave that stressed the vineyards. As I have said previously 1991 and 1989 are consistently better years for most of the Cote Rotie producers. However Guigal has turned in exceptional efforts with these three single vineyard wines.
