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 1993 Cote Rotie La Mouline exhibits a deep ruby color, light to medium body, soft, elegant aromas of toasty new oak, and a short finish with some unmistakable herbaceousness. The La Mouline character does come through in this supple wine, which is best drunk over the next 7-8 years. It is surprisingly better out of bottle than it was in cask. Guigal is one of the cellars where the wines always taste better after they are bottled than they do from cask, although as the scores in this segment indicate, some profound wines can be found in the 1994, 1995, and 1996 vintages

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.
