1996

Founded in 1946, Guigal is one of the most famous wineries in the Rhône Valley, known for producing exceptional wines in the Northern Rhône region. The winery has a commitment to quality and precision, resulting in wines that showcase the unique terroir of each vineyard.

This 1996 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne from Guigal is a stunning example of the potential of Syrah in the Northern Rhône. With over two decades of aging, this wine is now showing beautifully, with aromas of blackberries, smoked meats, and violets. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with flavors of black fruits, black pepper, and graphite. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, leading to a long, elegant finish. This is a wine that will continue to evolve and improve for many more years to come.
