The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A triumph of both winemaking excellence and human passion, Maison Guigal has reached the very pinnacle of the Rhône Valley.

Undisputed icons of the region, the legendary Côtes-Rôties — La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque — stand as enduring symbols of this mastery.

Impeccably crafted, built for decades of aging, these are wines of immense power, depth, and rare finesse. They transcend mere tasting, offering experiences that linger far beyond the glass — true timeless treasures, firmly enshrined in the pantheon of the world’s greatest wines.
Wine Crafted from 100% Syrah, the 2021 Red Côte Rôtie La Landonne once again offers a textbook expression of its legendary terroir. Spellbinding in its complexity, both on the nose and palate, it captures the very soul of Syrah — layers of dark berries, spices, hints of licorice, and cracked pepper unfold with remarkable depth. The structure is equally intricate, combining immense power with finesse and breadth. Patience is essential to allow this monumental wine to reveal its full potential. With production limited to just 2 hectares, only a fortunate few will have the privilege of adding this iconic wine to their collection.
Vinification Hand harvested. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, continuous pumping over using CO₂, alcoholic fermentation and maceration for 3 weeks. Single ageing for 40 months in new barrels.
40-year-old vines planted on 2 hectares.
