E. Guigal has long been renowned for its magnificent trio of single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie wines. La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque. La Mouline was the first - its debut vintage being 1966 – and is perhaps the most floral of the Big Three. The nose of this 1983 vintage is indeed predominantly floral, including iris, honeysuckle, violet and lilac. Fruity and spicy aromas are also present, such as cherries, plums, blackberries, rosemary, fennel, cinnamon and cloves. The palate is full-bodied, with high-toned acidity and long aftertaste. Absolutely one of the best vintages of E. Guigal’s La Mouline.
