Côte-Rôtie "La Landonne" 2008 - E Guigal

About the domain: Is it very useful to introduce you to the E.Guigal domain (E for Etienne but we know that 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 winegrowers. The estate owns some of the most illustrious plots in the Rhône Valley, of which this one is a part.

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 meticulous sorting which will eliminate 25% of the harvest from only 2 HA, it benefits from aging for 40 months in new barrels. Unlike Mouline and 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 getting to know us. At WUAT we set our sights on wines with great aging 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).
