E. Guigal 'La Mouline' Côte-Rôtie

Côte-Rôtie La Mouline is the more elegant, precise and pliant of the three of the named La Las. This is the wine that upholds Côte-Rôtie’s stylistic virtues of exotic perfume and a balletic gait, chiselled from the gneiss and hallowed limestone of the Côte Blonde sub-section. A dollop of Viognier shovels Syrah’s patina of blueberry, violet, nori and white pepper into a tensile spring of energy, uncoiling across a long drive over the palate, while staining it with a potpourri of clove, rosewater, cardamon and tamarind.
