La Landonne is one of the legendary 'La La' trio from E. Guigal, sourced from the steep, iron-rich clay and limestone slopes of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. Unlike its siblings, this cuvée is composed almost entirely of Syrah, resulting in a wine of immense power, structure, and longevity. It undergoes a long maceration and is aged for approximately 40 months in new oak barrels. The profile is characterized by intense dark fruit, smoked meat, black pepper, and earthy mineral notes, offering a profound depth that evolves beautifully over several decades.
La Landonne is the undisputed king of Côte-Rôtie. You must experience this wine at least once in your life to understand the true potential of Syrah.
