The 1997 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie “La Mouline” is one of the most refined and aromatic expressions from the Northern Rhône and a key member of Guigal’s iconic “La La” trilogy alongside La Turque and La Landonne. Produced by the historic house E. Guigal, La Mouline comes from a historic, terraced vineyard in the Côte Blonde section of Côte-Rôtie, known for its lighter-colored, limestone- and granite-influenced soils that yield more perfumed, silky, and floral wines compared to the deeper, more muscular Côte Brune sites. What distinguishes La Mouline is its higher proportion of Viognier co-fermented with Syrah—typically around 11–14% depending on vintage—giving the wine its signature aromatic lift and almost Burgundian perfume. This stylistic choice makes La Mouline the most sensual and immediately expressive of the “La La” trio, while still maintaining the structure and depth expected from top Côte-Rôtie. As with all Guigal single-vineyard wines, it is aged in 100% new French oak for an extended élevage (around 42 months), contributing richness, texture, and long-term aging capacity.
