Understanding E. Guigal, Cote Rotie, La Landonne, Rhone
La Landonne vineyard is famed for its exceptionally old Syrah vines, which thrive in the vineyard's characteristic iron-rich, limestone soils. These old vines yield intensely flavoured grapes, expressing the distinct identity of the La Landonne terroir. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats and features four weeks of maceration to encourage flavour and colour concentration. The wine is aged in new for 42 months, a step that imbues it with flavour and structure complexity. La Landonne unveils a rich tapestry of flavours, including dark fruit, earthy notes and hints of spice. The wine's robust yet refined structure is complemented by smooth tannins, making it an excellent candidate for extended cellar ageing.
