E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 2014
The Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 2014 is a true masterpiece from the Rhône, excelling in both complexity and elegance. This wine offers intricate aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and floral notes, complemented by subtle hints of spices and vanilla. It has a silky and elegant structure, with well-integrated tannins and a long, refined finish. Dark and powerful in character, it combines notes of espresso and black olives with a beautifully balanced profile.
An exceptional choice for true connoisseurs of fine wines. While it is at its peak now, it still has the potential for further aging.

Reviews
Robert Parker - 97
Floral aromas accent sturdy notes of grilled meat and almost delicate notes of red berries in the open, approachable 2014 Cote Rotie La Mouline. Medium to full-bodied, it shows great purity and a supple, silky, classic feel. It’s built more on elegance and complexity than power, with those floral, herbal notes leaving a long, silky impression on the finish.
Jancis Robinson - 17.5
Rich nose with spice and flattering appeal. Sweet start with masses of tannin and almost spicy leather notes. Only medium weight. Not a blockbuster. Neat finish.
James Suckling - 95
One of the more approachable of the “La La”, Côte-Rôtie trio. This has a wealth of wet stones, pepper and mixed, wild berries. Cedary oak frames the palate nicely with a super-dark core of rich plums. Sweet mocha laces the dark-plum and chocolate finish.
Vinous - 95
Glass-staining ruby. Lively, intensely perfumed aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, Moroccan spices, potpourri and incense are sharpened by a smoky mineral nuance. Juicy and pure on the palate, displaying seductively sweet boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors along with hints of candied violet and spicecake. The floral and spice notes return emphatically on the extremely long, penetrating finish, which features velvety tannins and a hint of five-spice powder.
E. Guigal
E. Guigal is undoubtedly one of the most renowned producers of recent decades in the Rhône, with an impeccable reputation for both red and white wines. Founded by Etienne Guigal in 1946 and now led by his son Marcel Guigal, the estate has gained international fame through its dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
The vineyards extend across some of the most prestigious appellations in the Rhône, including Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Hermitage. The estate is known for its meticulous care of the vineyards, where every step of the process, from vineyard to cellar, is focused on creating wines of exceptional quality.
Terroir
Côte-Rôtie, one of the jewels of the Northern Rhône, is a wine region of unparalleled beauty and complexity, renowned for its steep vineyards and breathtaking terroir. This iconic appellation, situated on the sun-drenched slopes along the Rhône River, offers an exceptional combination of climate and soil, making it ideal for the cultivation of Syrah, often complemented by a small addition of Viognier.
The vineyards of Côte-Rôtie benefit from a unique southeast-facing exposure, where the steep terraces maximize sunlight absorption. The soils, rich in schist and granite, contribute to the refined mineral structure of the wines, while the proximity to the river provides a temperate microclimate that protects the grapes from extreme temperatures.
What others say after opening the bottle
I like that I can buy good wines here without allocations. The bottles I’ve opened were exactly where they needed to be. Jannes his advice felt honest and personal, which helped me decide. Delivery was careful and straightforward. K. Loesberg
I spoke with Jannes before ordering because I wanted additional photos of the bottle, and that gave me confidence. The wine was ready to drink. Being able to buy single bottles for the occasion instead of full cases suits me well. Everything arrived perfect. T. Driessen
What I appreciate most is not having to guess anymore. I prefer to buy wines that are in the middel of there drinking window. Jannes his guidance was calm and helpful, and the delivery was handled with care. J. Annaert
Jannes helped me choose for a special food pairing, and the whole process felt easy and trustworthy. I don’t have a cellar to store wines for years. Buying loose bottles in there drinking window is a big advantage. Shipping was good. B. Denruyter
After opening too many wines too early in the past, this feels different. The timing has been spot on. I like the freedom of buying without allocations and choosing single bottles. Delivery has been consistently good. R. Bontemps
The advice from Jannes made the selection feel personal, not generic. The wine I ordered for Christmas was exactly as expected. I didn’t need a full case, so buying individual bottles works well. Everything arrived safely and on time. D. Smits
Great to enjoy wines without second-guessing. Jannes his advice helped narrow things down, and I appreciate being able to order just a few bottles. Delivery is good, quick and well handled. W. Snijders
This suits how I drink wine now. I don’t want to wait years or buy cases. The bottles arrive ready, the advice is solid, and the process feels dependable from start to finish. A. van Kempen
