Côte-Rôtie, La Mouline--Vintage 1969
1 bottle per lot
GUIGAL From Roman times to the latter part of the 19th Century, the vignobles of Côte-Rôtie enjoyed fame and prosperity. This glory declined until the appearance of one family, the Guigals - notably Marcel- whose energetic and single-minded pursuit of quality put Côte-Rôtie back on the world's fine wine map. Marcel Guigal's reputation is based on his three single-vineyard wines; they are intense, powerful yet supremely elegant and with long-life potential. La Mouline is made from approximately one hectare of Syrah vines in the Côte Blonde, to which is added roughly 11 Viognier. The wine first appeared under the Mouline name in 1966. La Turque is from a hectare on the Côte Brune, including 5 Viognier. Though not planted until 1982, La Turque burst on the scene in 1985, producing a remarkable wine. Its depth and finesse put Guigal firmly on the international fine wine map. La Landonne is from 2 hectares of Syrah on the Côte Brune, replanted in 1974 and subsequently. The wine has been aptly described as the most "magisterial" of the remarkable trio. Côte-Rôtie, La Mouline--Vintage 1969 Rhône, E.
