La Mouline is one of the legendary 'La La' wines from E. Guigal, sourced from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of the Côte Blonde in Côte-Rôtie. This iconic cuvée is renowned for its exceptional elegance, aromatic complexity, and silky texture. Typically composed of Syrah blended with a small percentage of Viognier, the wine undergoes a long maceration and is aged for approximately 40 months in new oak barrels. It offers profound notes of violets, black fruits, spices, and a distinct mineral backbone, representing the pinnacle of Northern Rhône winemaking.
La Mouline is the ultimate expression of Côte-Rôtie; its ethereal perfume and velvet structure make it an essential experience for any serious wine lover.
