E. Guigal La Landonne 2016 is a masterful expression of the Rhône Valley’s esteemed Côte Brune terroir, capturing the essence of power, depth, and intricate complexity. Crafted by Guigal, a legendary name in Rhône winemaking since 1946, this vintage exemplifies decades of dedication to quality, tradition, and the art of producing world-class Syrah wines.

As one of Guigal’s flagship wines, La Landonne is celebrated for its robust structure and intense character. It forms part of the iconic “La La” trilogy alongside La Mouline and La Turque, each representing the finest single-vineyard Côte Rôtie sites. The 2016 vintage benefits from balanced ripeness and excellent weather conditions, which contributed to its remarkable concentration, rich flavors, and exceptional aging potential.

Meticulously sourced from a premium private cellar, this single-vineyard Côte Rôtie offers a dense, layered bouquet featuring ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and black cherry, nuanced by aromatic spices, subtle smoky undertones, and hints of licorice and violet. On the palate, it reveals firm tannins and vibrant acidity, weaving a rich tapestry of flavors with a long, elegant finish that highlights the full-bodied Syrah character emblematic of the region.

Guigal’s unwavering commitment to showcasing the unique strength and complexity of the Côte Brune soil is evident throughout this wine. The legacy of Guigal’s craftsmanship and the exceptional terroir converge in this 2016 release, making it a distinguished example of Rhône’s most prestigious and powerful wines.

  • Since 1946, Guigal has shaped the Rhône into one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, earning a reputation for quality and tradition that spans generations.
  • La Landonne stands as one of Guigal’s flagship wines, renowned for its intensity and power, and as part of the “La La” trio, it embodies the strength and complexity of Côte Brune terroir.

Reviews

The 2016 Côte Rôtie La Landonne shows the more elegant and classical style of the vintage. As always, it’s 100% Syrah, from a great terroir in the Côte Brune side of the appellation, that will spend 48 months in new French oak barrels. It has textbook La Landonne notes of smoked meats, black fruits, and crushed rocks as well as full-bodied richness, surprising elegance and finesse for this cuvée (but that’s the vintage), flawless balance, and a great finish. I suspect it will have some early charm, but I’d still recommend 7-8 years of bottle age.
Bright purple. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, cherry liqueur, incense and potpourri, while olive and exotic spice nuances build in the glass. Intense, alluringly sweet black/blue fruit, spicecake and violet pastille flavors show sharp delineation and a spine of juicy acidity. Closes extremely long and precise, displaying a smoky, intensifying mineral quality and youthfully gripping tannins that build steadily.
