GUIGAL
From Roman times to the latter part of the 19th Century, the vignoble of Côte-Rôtie enjoyed fame and prosperity. This glory ebbed in decline until the appearance of one family, the Guigals - notably Marcel- whose energetic and single-minded pursuit of quality put Côte-Rôtie back on the world's fine wine map. Marcel Guigal's reputation is based on his three single-vineyard wines; intense, powerful yet supremely elegant and with long-life potential. La Mouline: Made from approximately one hectare of Syrah vines in the Côte Blonde, to which is added roughly 11 Viognier. The wine first appeared under the Mouline name in 1966. La Turque: from a hectare on the Côte Brune, including 5 Viognier. Though not planted until 1982, La Turque burst on the scene in 1985, producing a remarkable wine. Its depth and finesse put Guigal firmly on the international fine wine map. La Landonne: from 2 hectares of Syrah on the Côte Brune, replanted in 1974 and subsequently. The wine has been aptly described as the most "magisterial" of the remarkable trio.
The 1990 was bottled in magnums for the first time as hommage to Marcel Guigal's father
Côte-Rôtie, Brune et Blonde, Hommage--Vintage 1990
Rhône, Guigal
In original wooden case
"Made from a parcel of vines in La Pommiere, this is a majestic, dense, smoky, cassis-scented wine wine that has enormous extract, an opaque purple color, and a knockout nose of a jammy black fruit. An extremely full-bodied Cote Rotie with an exceptional sweetness of fruit (from ripeness, not sugar), this rarity is largely of academic interest beacuse of the microscopic production. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2015. Last tasted 8/96." Rhone Book (1997) Robert Parker
