While this bottle may not look like much from the outside, the contents were simply stunning! This 1987 Guigal La Mouline Cote Rotie was a highlight from a recent in-person tasting (that complied with all legal requirements). . Based in the Northern Rhone, E. Guigal makes some of my favorite wines. The so-called La La trilogy (La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque) is the crown jewel of the Guigal lineup. La Mouline always contains the highest percentage of Viognier (typically around 11%). The La Mouline fruit comes from a steep, heavily-terraced portion of the Cote Blonde vineyard with rocky soils and which is typically the warmest of the three sources. (See the very first post in my profile for vineyard pics!). La Mouline is produced using the more gentle pumping over technique as opposed to punching down. As a result of these differences, La Mouline tends to be the most elegant of the three and the one that can be enjoyed the earliest. . Of course, La Mouline still ages phenomenally well! La Mouline is also one of those rare wines that transcend vintage and points and is inevitably one of the most memberable bottles on the table every time it is opened. And so it was with this 1987! Despite being from a supposedly off vintage, this La Mouline outclassed many more highly regarded (and more costly) wines from the very first nose! An intriguing array of dark cherry, black pepper, smoked meat, olive, iron, rosemary, thye, and sage perfectly balanced the abundant acidity. The mouthfeel was ethereal and the finish long, lingering and complex! La Mouline has a soulful character that reminds you with every sip that you are experiencing something truly special! After every sip, I sat in silence soaking it all in much like I do when appreciating an artistic masterpiece at a museum. It was such a blessing to be able to experience this memorable wine in-person with good friends I had not seen since January. . . . . #guigal #eguigal #domaineguigal #coterotie #côterôtie #northernrhone #syrah #syrahwine #viognier #lamouline #vineyard #tastingnotes #wineporn #wineevents #rhonevalley #rhone ##wineeducation #vin #instawine #winelover #winenot #topwine (at Roots and Water Wine Room) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLoQ0nJBO-/?igshid=1hzfoswnh4z4t

Remembering the night when a good friend was in town. Immediately after our business was finished, we opened a 2008 Guigal La Mouline and then the floodgates opened (as they often do)! While the double 99-point 2013 BOND St. Eden would have been wine of the night most nights, the supposedly off vintage 08 La Mouline was hauntingly good. So good that we had to open a second bottle (Swipe left), which was somehow even better than the first! Enticing aromatics of smoked meat, pepper and (pleasant) funk/barnyard aromas won us over before the first sip! The La Mouline attacked our palates with plush red fruit, soft tannins, and a long, complex finish. The BOND was really special too, but for me there is something absolutely magical about the LaLa’s, and La Mouline in particular. It is one of those rare wines that transcends vintages and points - it has a soul and character that reminds you with every sip that you are experiencing something truly unique and special. As Pablo Picasso aptly observed about art, La Mouline “washes away from the soul the dust of every day life.” ____________________________________#wine #vin #vino #vinho #winelover #syrah #rhonevalley #northernrhone #coterotie #lamouline #guigal #eguigal #frenchwine #redwine #napacab #cabernetsauvignon #californiawine #sommelier #sommlife #wset #tbthursday #instawine #finewine #winepic #picassoquote #workhardplayhard #winelove #attorneylife #winegeek (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UvwAiHbM0/?igshid=1s4b4e98x40u

While I would much rather be drinking Côte-Rôtie, tonight I’m remembering my visit to the iconic E. Guigal’s famous vineyards in the Northern Rhône! These pictures show the portion of the Côte Blonde lieu-dit from which the grapes that go into the La Mouline - my favorite of the 3 La Las - are located. This extraordinarily steep vineyard is heavily terraced and has rocky soils. It is also warmer than the other vineyards, features a higher percentage of Viognier (10-11%), and is produced using the more gentle pumping over technique as opposed to punching down. These differences result in a wine that is generally a bit more elegant and ready to drink earlier than either La Landonne or La Turque. While La Mouline has been one of my favorite wines since the first time I tried it, visiting the property and seeing the tremendous effort required to harvest these steep vineyards made me appreciate it even more! ___________________________________#guigal #eguigal #lamouline #coterotie #northernrhone #syrah #vin #wine #winelover #winelovers #vineyard #vineyards #sommelier #instagood #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #instadaily #travel #instagram #winetravel #cheers #vino #wset #sommlife #instawine #winery #winestagram #likeforlikes #like4likes (at Ampuis, Rhone-Alpes, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqq1TzfHUt-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1desrofe8x7k8

So I had every intention of posting a #tbt today, but fortunately life intervened! We opened a 2008 #guigal #lamouline and then the floodgates opened! The 2013 Bond St Eden would have been wine of the night most nights, but tonight even the supposedly off vintage 2008 La Mouline was hauntingly good. So good that we had to open a second bottle, which was somehow even better than the first. Subtle pepper notes combined with smoked meat and pleasant barnyard aromas won us over before the first sip. The La Mouline attacked our palates with plush red fruit, soft tannins and a finish that seemingly went on forever. The 2013 Bond St. Eden was outstanding and would have been the standout most nights, but not tonight. The 1998 #janasse #chateauneufdupape was very elegant and more like a burgundy than a #gsmblend #wine #winelover #winetasting #winelovers #wineporn #winestagram #sommelier #sommlife #wineinstagram #instawine #wineoclock #winenight #wineoftheday #wineblogger #coterotie #napavalley #janasse #chateauneufdupape #graileys #followforfollowback (at Graileys) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpqVtN7nCtH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bzp0uhdhvqgb
