The 2017 E. Guigal La Mouline is a testament to the excellence of Côte-Rôtie's famed La Mouline vineyard. This opulent Syrah-Viognier blend offers an intoxicating bouquet of ripe black fruits, violets, and exotic spices, with hints of roasted coffee and smoky bacon. On the palate, it displays extraordinary depth and complexity, with silky tannins and a seemingly endless finish, promising to evolve beautifully over the next two to three decades.

Bottled in February of 2021, the 2017 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a seamless, exotic, perfumed, full-bodied effort that offers a classic floral character in its ripe black raspberry and blackberry fruit as well as notes of spice box, espresso, and chocolate. Co-fermented with roughly 10% Viognier, it’s all about gorgeous fruit and texture, and this cuvée has that rare ability to bring incredible richness and depth with no sensation of weight or heaviness. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for 20-25 years. This reminds me slightly of the 2011 as well as the 2007.

The 2017 Cote Rotie La Mouline has developed quickly and is already approachable—although I wouldn't be surprised to see it close down shortly, only to emerge even better a decade from now. Complex, charming scents of jasmine, sandalwood, raspberries and stone fruit appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky-textured, with a long, plush finish.

Racy-edged and still a bit coiled up, this has a core of dark cherry and currant fruit that has melded nicely with singed alder, tobacco and sanguine notes. Flashes of chocolate and espresso crema add a more taciturn edge to the finish, but time should bring that into the fold, as this has superior length and drive for cellaring. Best from 2024 through 2038. 210 cases made, 60 cases imported.

Intensity Meets Precision

The 2017 growing season in Côte-Rôtie was marked by early budbreak and a long, dry summer, resulting in lower yields but exceptional concentration. E. Guigal's meticulous vineyard management in La Mouline, including careful canopy management and precise harvest timing, allowed them to capture the vintage's intensity while preserving freshness. The resulting wine showcases the warmth of the year in its ripe fruit profile, balanced by the characteristic mineral complexity of this esteemed terroir.
