"Only a few bottles of this prestigious and exceptional vintage"

“Leading the trio of wines from single-vineyard lots, the 2021 Côte Rôtie La Mouline features a deeper ruby-purple color and Burgundian aromas of black raspberry, graphite, camphor, and flowers. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a pure and incredibly elegant palate, beautiful tannins, and a lovely finish. ” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024). • This wine is shipped in individual wooden crates for all orders (excluding the “Pickup Point” delivery option)

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) 93/100

About the wine:

Lovely red fruit on the nose, fragrant and delicate. Slightly full-bodied, it has aged remarkably well in oak. It has only very subtle tannins. The acidity is low as well; it’s a wine that’s light in concentration and already ready to drink. A modest vintage from La Mouline, not very long-lasting. From the Côte Blonde vineyard. Sample tasted at the start of its 40 months in new French oak barrels.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

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:

An expressive, floral nose—wild rose, violet, perfume, and licorice. The palate is tight but charming. The tannins are smooth, delicate, and lovely. The palate is creamy and flavorful with toasty notes. A salty note on the finish. A delicate, refined, and elegant La Mouline.

About the wine:

The 2021 La Mouline Côte-Rôtie , a medium-bodied wine, features aromas of orange blossom, rose petals, violets, and mocha, combined with ripe red fruits. Hints of blackberry add another layer of complexity. Although it lacks the same concentration and depth as the two previous vintages, the 2021 La Mouline promises to be a remarkably refined expression of this cuvée. It finishes with a lingering, flavorful aftertaste.
