Cote Roti La Landonne 2021 E.Guigal

Professionele reviews

Cask sample. Smoky whole-bunch character on the nose with grilled meat, clove, savoury notes and smoke. A grippy palate with firm, robust, taut tannins. A smoky and meaty palate as well. Graphite, damp earth and showing that really savoury side. Good concentration as well throughout and underpinned by the telling acidity of the vintage. (AC)

The 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne unfurls with prominent black olive, pencil shavings, cured meat, raspberry and wood spice. Fragrant orange blossom and violet nuances add a floral lift. Ripe and firm yet remarkably polished tannins provide solid structure. Showing more energy and ambition than La Mouline and La Turque, the 2021 La Landonne is a medium-bodied Côte-Rôtie with scope and concentration.

I suspect the wine of the vintage, the 2021 Côte Rôtie La Landonne delivers blackberries, smoked meats, and graphite in a medium to full-bodied, layered, and ultra-classic style. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 42 months in new French oak, it shows remarkable purity, polished tannins, and a brilliant, smoky character.
