Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2015

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2015 is one of the most powerful and prestigious wines from the northern Rhône, made entirely from Syrah on one of Côte Brune’s most renowned plots. Deeply concentrated and unmistakably structured, it reflects both the intensity of the site and the meticulous élevage that has made La Landonne a benchmark for serious Rhône collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows an intense black-ruby color, almost opaque at the core. The nose is layered and brooding, with dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, black olives, espresso, graphite, and smoky, meaty notes. The palate is dense and full-bodied, delivering black fruit, liquorice, spice, black pepper, and a strong mineral edge. The tannins are firm and dusty, giving the wine a строг, upright shape, while the finish is exceptionally long, echoing with dark chocolate, cinnamon, and pepper. This is a wine built for the long haul and should continue to evolve beautifully for decades in a strong cellar.

Production
La Landonne comes from the Côte Brune side of Côte-Rôtie, where iron-rich, limestone-clay soils give Syrah its trademark depth, power, and mineral tension. The grapes are harvested carefully from this steep, historic site, and the wine is vinified with long maceration in temperature-controlled tanks with continuous pumping over or stirring to extract maximum color, structure, and complexity. It then spends around 42 months in new French oak barrels, which adds polish, spice, and further aging capacity.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for rich, deeply flavored dishes such as slow-braised beef, venison, lamb shank, game birds, or grilled ribeye with earthy sides like mushrooms or truffle potato purée. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for several hours to allow the aromatics to open and the tannins to soften.
