E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2018 – An Icon of the Northern Rhône

The E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2018 is one of the most prestigious and sought-after wines of the Northern Rhône. Produced from a legendary single vineyard in Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne represents the powerful, structured and exceptionally age-worthy side of Syrah.

The vineyard was planted in 1975 and is characterised by iron-rich clay and limestone soils. Made from 100% Syrah, the wine combines remarkable concentration with the unmistakable mineral character of this exceptional terroir.

Tasting Profile

Deep, almost black-red in colour, La Landonne reveals an intense and complex bouquet of black fruits, liquorice, roasted notes and exotic spices.

On the palate, it is powerful, rich and concentrated, with a pronounced tannic structure and extraordinary depth. Despite its intensity, the wine remains precise and terroir-driven, developing increasing complexity and refinement with time in the bottle.

This is a wine created for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate uncompromising Northern Rhône Syrah.

Exceptional Winemaking and Ageing

The grapes come from vines averaging approximately 50 years of age and are vinified as whole bunches. Following a long maceration, the wine is matured for approximately 40 months in new oak barrels.

This extended ageing contributes additional complexity and structure while preserving the intense fruit and mineral expression for which La Landonne is renowned.

With an ageing potential of approximately 50 years, this is not only an exceptional wine to enjoy but also an outstanding addition to a serious wine collection.

Food Pairing and Serving

Serve at approximately 16–18°C.

La Landonne is an outstanding companion to refined and flavourful dishes such as:

• Game and venison
• Roast or grilled red meats
• Pheasant or partridge
• Slow-cooked meat dishes
• Mature and full-flavoured cheeses

For younger bottles, decanting before serving is recommended to allow the wine to reveal its full aromatic depth and structure.

A Collector’s Côte-Rôtie

La Landonne belongs among the signature wines of Maison E. Guigal and is produced in very limited quantities. Its extraordinary concentration, long ageing potential and unmistakable Côte-Rôtie character make it a remarkable choice for collectors, special occasions and lovers of the world’s great Syrah wines.
