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.

Produttore
Domaine Guigal
Tre generazioni della famiglia Guigal hanno lavorato su questo lotto di terreno della Côte-Rôtie di oltre 24 secoli. Tra i più famosi produttori di vino del Rodano settentrionale, la tenuta Guigal fu creata nel 1946 da Etienne Guigal ad Ampuis. Il figlio Marcel rilevò la Maison nel 1961, ampliando i vigneti di famiglia e migliorando al tempo stesso la reputazione complessiva. Marcel è stato nominato Decanter Man of the Year nel 2006 e ora suo figlio Philippe è l'enologo del domaine. Il marchio E. Guigal rappresenta una collezione piuttosto ampia di vini della Valle del Rodano, poiché l'azienda del più grande produttore della Côte-Rôtie lavora anche come négociant, acquistando uve per alcune delle proprie etichette. Le tre produzioni di Côte-Rôtie da singolo vigneto, La Landonne, La Mouline e La Turque, sono famosi in tutto il mondo come rossi modello dalla denominazione. E. Guigal propone anche molti altri vini: il denso e concentrato l'Hermitage, il raffinato St. Joseph e il famoso Condrieus, solo per citarne alcuni.
