"The wine that embodies all the greatness of the estate"

“The 2021 Côte Rôtie La Landonne will likely be the standout wine of the vintage, offering more density, depth, and length than any other wine. The classic La Landonne features smoky, full-bodied notes, along with abundant hints of ripe black fruit, leather, and violets. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, remarkably pure, with ripe, polished tannins and a magnificent finish. This is a relatively approachable La Landonne that should reach its peak in 7 to 8 years and have an overall longevity of more than two decades. ” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024). • All orders for this wine will be shipped in individual wooden cases (excluding “Point Relais” delivery method)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

Marcel and Philippe Guigal jointly lead the successful family business, which since 2017 has expanded significantly in the south, to Châteauneuf-du-Pape (77 hectares of owned vineyards), supplemented in the spring of 2022 by the 100 hectares of Château d’Aquéria. And, as always, the estate boasts a rich portfolio of vineyards in Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and Hermitage. Wine enthusiasts can savor some of the valley’s greatest vintages, not to mention the brilliant Côtes-du-Rhône—in all three colors—and Tavel, Philippe’s favorite wine.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

The nose is very spicy, with notes of zesty cinnamon and ashy, smoky hints emanating from the grape cluster. Medium-bodied for La Landonne, this wine may seem unassuming, but it is decidedly fresh. The tannins are quite dry at the moment, but they are very refined. It is not as long or concentrated as many recent vintages, but it will develop into a fresh, balanced, and complex wine over time. This wine was made entirely from whole clusters. Sample tasted at the beginning of its long aging process in 100% new oak barrels.

About the estate:

In addition to its “treasures” in côte-rôtie, Hermitage, and Condrieu, the Guigal estate owns two beautiful plots in Saint-Joseph: the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard, which gave its name to the appellation, and the Vignes de l’Hospice, planted on a very steep granite hillside—a site already identified by the monks of the Hospice de Tournon—with a geological formation similar to that of the famous Bessards hill in Hermitage.

5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)

About the estate:

An iconic figure of the northern Rhône, Marcel Guigal is both a major wine merchant and a prominent winegrower. In the latter capacity, he cultivates famous vineyards in Côte Rôtie, such as La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne, not to mention La Doriane in Condrieu. A tireless worker with an insatiable intellectual curiosity, he succeeded his father, Etienne. Philippe Guigal, an oenologist representing the third generation, continues the family legacy alongside his father, maintaining this dual focus on estate winemaking and wine trading. Winemaking for the northern appellations takes place entirely in Ampuis.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The most iconic winery in the northern Rhône Valley needs no introduction. Under this umbrella, we bring together the wines from our own vineyards, which we thus distinguish from our wine merchant operations. This includes the famous trio from the “ Côte-Rôtie ”: La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne; the first two are brand names, while the last is a registered terroir. Added to these are the Château d’Ampuis cuvée and the Condrieu La Doriane. In addition to these star wines, there is the Vignes de l’Hospice cuvée—a Saint-Joseph situated on a magnificent terroir—as well as several premier plots in Hermitage from which the Ex-Voto cuvée is produced. Marcel Guigal is strongly supported by his son Philippe, who seems to be gently shifting the style of the wines, with aging practices that strike us as slightly less dominant. Needless to say, all these wines are built for long-term aging.

About the wine:

The nose is smoky, with notes of grilled meat, cloves, spices, and smoke. The palate is gripping, with firm, robust, and taut tannins. It is also smoky and full-bodied. Hints of graphite and damp earth, with a very savory character. Good concentration, supported by the vintage’s characteristic acidity.

About the wine:

Côte-Rôtie 's La Landonne 2021 opens with pronounced aromas of black olives, pencil shavings, dried meat, raspberries, and woody spices. Fragrant notes of orange blossom and violet add a floral touch. The ripe, firm, yet remarkably polished tannins provide a solid structure. Showing more energy and ambition than La Mouline and La Turque, the 2021 La Landonne is a medium-bodied Côte-Rôtie with depth and concentration.
