Founded in 1946, Domaine Guigal is one of the most revered and unwaveringly consistent estates in the Rhône Valley and is often seen as a benchmark for quality Côte-Rôtie. The top three wines from Guigal are known affectionately in some circles as the La La’s, which is short for La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. La Mouline is produced from Syrah and Viognier (around 10%) sourced from a 1-hectare plot of vines on the Côte Blonde, some of which are close to 100 years of age. The 1995 is yet another sensational release of spectacular quality and profound complexity. Now nearing full maturity, it remains an explosively rich wine with heady notes of black fruits, violets, black pepper, liquorice, leather and earth.
