2015 E. Guigal Cote Rotie La Mouline, Rhone, France
$475.00
A decade on, La Mouline 2015 is just starting to show why it’s one of the Rhône’s most legendary bottlings. From 75-year-old vines on the Côte Blonde, this is 89% Syrah and 11% Viognier, co-fermented and aged 42 months in new oak. The vintage brings richness and velvet, but also structure. Dense black fruit, smoked herbs, florals, and spice layer in a wine of both power and lift. One of the most complete expressions of Côte-Rôtie—and still just entering its drinking window.
