Cote Roti La Mouline 2021 E.Guigal

Professional reviews

Jancis Robinson (18)

Cask sample. Expressive, floral nose – rose hip, violet, perfume and liquorice. A tightly wound, but lovely, palate. Seamless tannins, which are so delicate and pretty. A creamy and savoury palate with toasty notes beneath. Saline note on the finish. A delicate, refined and elegant La Mouline. (AC)

Vinous (95)

The medium-bodied 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Mouline exhibits fragrant orange blossom, rose petal, violet and mocha paired with ripe red fruits. Blackberry traces add another layer. Albeit not sharing the same concentration and depth as the surrounding two vintages, the 2021 La Mouline is shaping up to be a remarkably refined iteration of this cuvée. It closes with persistence on the savory finale.

Blackberries, red and blue fruits, crushed flowers, and ground pepper all emerge from the La Mouline, which shows incredible elegance and purity, as well as depth. Based on 89% Syrah and 11% Viognier and aged 42 months in new French oak, it delivers medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, silky texture, and beautiful balance. The tannins are polished, and it has a gorgeous finish.
