The 1991 La Landonne will provide multimillionaires with plenty of pleasure over the next 20 years. They can also debate whether it or the perfect 1990 is the better wine. The 1991's bouquet offers huge, smoky, new saddle leather, licorice, Asian spice, meaty, and cassis scents. Black in color, with layers of richness, huge body, massive extraction, and a phenomenal finish, it is another legend from Marcel Guigal. It will be the least precocious of the 1991s, needing until the turn of the century to open and develop; it should keep for 25-30 + years. Last tasted 6/96.

Deep and muscular, this is the most concentrated and tannic of the '91s. It's meaty, smoky and spicy, with ripe plum flavors. Drink beginning in 2000.--Guigal Côte-Rôtie vertical. –TM

Producer
Domaine Guigal
Three generations of the Guigal family have worked on this plot of land in the Côte-Rôtie that is over 24-centuries-old. As one of today’s most famous wine producers in France’s northern Rhône, the Guigal Estate was created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the village of Ampuis. His son Marcel took over the maison in 1961, expanding the family’s vineyard holdings. He also simultaneously bettered their overall reputation. Marcel was named Decanter Man of the Year in 2006, while his son, Philippe now acts as the operating oenologist for the domaine. The E. Guigal brand represents a rather broad collection of wines from the Rhône Valley, as the largest producer in Côte-Rôtie the firm also works as a négociant, buying grapes for some of their labels. Their three single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie productions, La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque stand out worldwide as consistent red models from the appellation. E. Guigal also offers a large lists of other wines, the dense and concentrated Hermitage, the refined St. Joseph, as well as the famous Condrieus, just to name a few.
