1979 E. Guigal Cote Rotie La Landonne 2nd Vintage!

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 RP91 - Surprisingly youthful with a dark ruby/purple color revealing no signs of age this wine seems more compact and tightly knit than many vintages of Guigal's Cote Roties. Full-bodied and powerful with good acidity and outstanding concentration and extract this wine has aged at a glacial pace. Although not complex and somewhat monolithic the 1979 La Landonne is loaded with fruit glycerin and body. The balance is there so perhaps it is just a question of further patience.
