✨ Tekniske specifikationer
La Mouline, situated in the heart of the Côte Blonde, is a legendary amphitheater-shaped vineyard whose history of viticulture stretches back over 2,400 years to Roman times. The name itself whispers of the past, derived from an ancient watermill that once stood nearby. The 2015 vintage represents a high-water mark for this historic parcel, benefiting from a historically warm and sunny growing season that yielded grapes of unprecedented concentration and structural power. Here, the Syrah is co-fermented with a significant portion of Viognier, a traditional practice that coaxes out an ethereal floral perfume and softens the dark, muscular fruit of the Syrah. Grown on steep, terraced slopes of gneiss, loess, and decomposed granite, the vines yield a wine of remarkable complexity. Following fermentation, the wine underwent its signature, painstaking maturation of 40 months in 100% new French oak barrels, resulting in a seamless integration of exotic spices, velvety tannins, and vibrant minerality.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Domaine E. Guigal blev grundlagt i 1946 af Étienne Guigal i den historiske landsby Ampuis og hører i dag til blandt de mest prestigefyldte og toneangivende vinhuse i Frankrigs Rhône-dal. Familiens stolte arv blev løftet til nye højder under Marcel Guigal og sønnen Philippe, hvilket blandt andet afspejles i den omhyggelige restaurering af renæssanceslottet Château d'Ampuis samt et kompromisløst fokus på langvarig fadlagring med eget bødkeri på ejendommen. Guigal er verdenskendt for at definere kvalitetsstandarden for vinavl i det nordlige Rhône og har opnået legendarisk status med sine uforlignelige Syrah-vine – herunder de ikoniske enkeltmarksvine fra Côte-Rôtie kendt som 'La-La-La-erne' (La Mouline, La Landonne og La Turque) – såvel som overdådige og aromatiske Viognier-vine som Condrieu La Doriane.
