The great glories of this house are its Cote Roties, of which there are now five separate offerings. The 1993s, which have just come on the marketplace, are from a troublesome vintage for everyone in Cote Rotie, rivaling 1984 in difficulty. Nevertheless, the single-vineyard wines have turned out well. As for the single vineyard wines, they are all excellent in 1993, but more herbaceous and clearly marked by the green pepper smells of slightly underripe Syrah. The most tannic of the three famous single vineyards is the 1993 Cote Rotie La Landonne. It is amazingly powerful and rich for the vintage, and reveals more fruit and intensity than it did prior to bottling. It exhibits a saturated ruby color, and copious amounts of pepper, tar, olives, licorice, and black cherry fruit in the nose. It remains the most muscular and structured of the three wines, and has managed to avoid the hollowness and vegetal character that plague so many 1993 northern Rhones. This Cote Rotie should age gracefully for a decade or more.

Producteur
Domaine Guigal
Trois générations de la famille Guigal ont cultivé ces terres en Côte-Rôtie, vieilles de 24 siècles. Producteur vedette de la partie septentrionale du Rhône, le Domaine Guigal doit sa création en 1946 sur la commune d’Ampuis à Etienne Guigal. Son fils Marcel a repris les rênes de la maison en 1961, agrandissant les vignobles familiaux par la suite, et contribuant à rehausser la réputation de l’entreprise. En 2006, il a été nommé « Homme de l’Année » par le magazine Decanter. Aujourd’hui, son fils Philippe assume le rôle d’œnologue au sein du domaine. La marque E. Guigal englobe un éventail assez étendu de vins rhodaniens car, hormis son statut de premier producteur de Côte-Rôtie, la maison intervient aussi en tant que maison de négoce, achetant des raisins pour élaborer certaines de ses cuvées. Ses trois sélections parcellaires de Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne, La Mouline et La Turque, modèles de qualité constante en rouge, jouissent d’une aura internationale. E. Guigal propose aussi toute une panoplie d’autres références, dont l’Hermitage, dense et concentré, le St. Joseph, tout en finesse, et les illustres Condrieu, pour ne citer qu’eux.
