The Story

100% Syrah from Côte Brûne hillside known for its limestone clay soils with very rich in iron oxide.

In order to enhance quality the Guigals worked to acquire ownership in vineyards. Purchased in 1965, the just under one-hectare La Mouline plantation, which is located on the slopes of Côte Blonde, set the stage for the Guigals’ present reputation.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is cherry red and deep. On the nose it is intense and complex. The taste is fresh, elegant,voluptuous, and dry, warming, with high tannin, with silky tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with multi-dimensional structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has earthy, smoky, toasty, plum, blackberry, floral, mineral and cigar-box flavours. The finish is endless. This wine is masterpiece. I paid around 200-500€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 45min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
