About this Item

Côte Rôtie La Mouline, 1977
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

E. Guigal is one of the most notable wine producers in the Rhône Valley. It was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, a village near the famous roasted slopes of the Côte Rôtie, with a long history of winegrowing, and today has plots throughout the Rhône.

Producer Notes: 'The Côte-Rôtie La Mouline is one of the most emblematic of the Guigal domain’s wines. Small quantities are produced each year from a vineyard in the heart of the ‘Côte blonde’. This is a voluptuous, silky and intensely aromatic wine. Ruby red with red vermillion tints. Notes of red fruits, blackberry and floral violet aromas. Intensely aromatic, powerful but full of finesse. On the palate supple with balance between the finesse of the aromas and an explosive richness due to the concentration of the wine. Greatly expressive of the terroir. A feminine wine with voluptuous silky texture and intense aromas.'

Terraced wines in the shape of a Roman amphitheatre. Gneis with lighly coloured silicone soil with limestone lœss. Average age of vines: about 75 years.

Critics Ratings

'Pleasant surprise from a weak vintage. Light yet firm, it shows game, spice and tobacco flavors. Drink now.' - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator (Nov 1995)
