Established in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, E. Guigal is a prominent and leading winery based in the Rhône Valley. Positioned on the western banks of the Rhône River, Guigal is situated close to the renowned sun-drenched slopes of the Côte Rôtie, where their iconic flagship wines, ‘La Landonne’, ‘La Mouline’, and ‘La Turque’ are crafted. The 2005 ‘La Mouline’ is showing an incredibly complex and fascinating nose, including dark ripe raspberries, blackberries, leather, bacon, iron, white pepper, toasted wood and vanilla notes. The oak is still evident, but no longer overpowering. A very concentrated wine, with delicate and fine-grained tannins, and endless finish.
