Why We're Buying

Step aside, Avengers: Infinity War. The E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline is our pick for the biggest blockbuster of 2018. This ultra-enticing syrah wields a silky and seductive body without a hard edge to be found. Not only that, but it explodes with aromas and flavors of blackberries, boysenberries, strawberries, wildflowers, lavender, espresso, incense, and spice. Even Robert Downey Jr. cannot match the suave personality of this flagship wine. La Mouline stands out in the La La trilogy, which includes La Turque and La Landonne. Its fruit comes from warmer terroir and co-ferments with 10 viognier. The result is a more exotic and sleeker wine with high approachability. In the words of Wine Advocate's Joe Czerwinski, "This is the most complete, compelling vintage of La Mouline I've tasted." The Final Sip: The super suave 2020 La Mouline has a blockbuster profile and undeniable charm, making it one of the most complete La Moulines ever.

Critics Scores

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE
100

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cote Rotie La Mouline is immensely seductive, offering up enticing notes of floral potpourri and red berries on the nose. Those strawberries and raspberries persist onto the full-bodied palate and through the long, lush finish, buoyed by supple, creamy-textured tannins. This is the most complete, compelling vintage of La Mouline I've tasted.

VINOUS
98

Vinous

Expansive aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri, incense and smoky minerals pick up an exotic nuance as the wine opens up. Broad and seamless on the palate, displaying sharp delineation to the sappy, mineral-inflected black raspberry, boysenberry, candied violet and spicecake flavors. Shows a distinctly suave character and finishes extremely long and appealingly sweet, with discreet tannins framing lingering blue fruit liqueur and floral notes.

Scheduled to be bottled early in 2022, the 2018 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a blockbuster of a wine offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, espresso, and violets. Coming from a steep, terraced, warmer terroir and fermented with 10 Viognier, it’s always the sexiest, more exotic, and seamless, as well as approachable, of the flagship releases. The 2018 will unquestionably pure a smile on your face as soon as it’s released, but it will ideally be given 7-8 years of bottle age and drunk over the following 30+ years.
