Côte-Rôtie "La Landonne" 2008 - E Guigal

About the estate: Is it really necessary to introduce you to the E.Guigal estate (E for Etienne but we know you already knew that)? Established in Ampuis since 1946, this large family estate is currently managed in the best possible way by the third generation of winemakers. The estate owns some of the most illustrious plots in the Rhone Valley, including this one.

About the cuvée: La Landonne is a 100% Syrah goldsmith's cuvée from vines that are 35 years old on average, it is also probably the most "powerful" of the famous trio. After a careful sorting that will eliminate 25% of the harvest from only 2 HA, it benefits from 40 months of aging in new barrels. Unlike the Mouline and the Turque, this is not a monopoly for Guigal. But the vines that were planted for the birth of the generation in charge of the estate are particularly pampered.

About the 2008 vintage : You may be starting to know us. At WUAT we have our sights set on wines with great ageing potential. The 2008 vintage is the most closed of the 2000s vintages but has particularly interesting potential for development. It should reach its peak between 2025 and 2030 (much later for lovers of old wines).
