E. Guigal is known for introducing the concept of single vineyard Côte Rôtie wines, with his three renowned wines, La Landonne, La Mouline, and La Turque, being highly coveted worldwide. This 2019 release showcases the wine`s power, featuring intense flavours of black and blue fruit, accented by spices and minerals. It exhibits remarkable clarity in its aromas of exotic spices, olives, and incense, with subtle hints of smoky bacon, mocha, and sweet liquorice emerging as it breathes. On the palate, it impresses with its smoothness and depth, offering concentrated notes of boysenberry, cherry liqueur, fruitcake, and vanilla. A touch of salty olive paste adds a unique element to the overall experience.
