Tasting Notes

Guigal La Landonne 2014 exemplifies the pinnacle of Northern Rhône winemaking, crafted by the esteemed Guigal family, who have been instrumental in elevating the Rhône Valley since 1946.

The 2014 vintage reveals a concentrated core of dark fruit flavors, including blackberry and blackcurrant, seamlessly intertwined with nuances of black pepper, smoked meat, and delicate floral undertones. These characteristics reflect the vintage’s balanced climate, which allowed optimal ripening and preservation of vibrant acidity.

Meticulously crafted to showcase the unique terroir, this wine boasts refined tannins and a robust framework, promising exceptional aging potential. Its intense aromatic profile is complemented by elegant acidity and a long, persistent finish that lingers with sophistication and grace.

Critic Scores

Inky dense core with a purple hue. Youthful and pure nose, layered with fine oak, a hint of smoke and toastiness with floral violet notes, blackberry, plum, steak tartare, pepper and clove. Very pure, concentrated and layered palate, a high extraction but very grainy tannins and a vibrant acidity, ripe blackberry, plum and cassis notes with a nice peppery meatiness, layered and intense flavours with cocoa bean, fine spices and a very long dense and complex finish. Serious structure for long ageing even if it´s rather delicious already. Tasted: Sep 2018

Perhaps the longest-lived wine of the vintage, the wine is full-bodied, rich and deep with iron, rocks, stones and crisp, deep, red fruits in its core. The tannins are present, but they are ripe, polished and yet, still firm. There is the backbone to age, so be prepared to give this at least a decade or longer and it should be the star of the vintage. Tasted: Sep 2018 - Jeff Leve

Super-intense, dark-stone and mineral aromas here. Coal smoke, graphite and some distinctive, sappy, herbal accents. Blackberries are swathed in black and green pepper, mocha and coffee. Cloves and other woody spices are all in the mix, too. The palate is muscular with firm tannins encompassing the punchy, black-fruit flavors. This is under lockdown for now and will need a while to settle. Try in 2025. Tasted: Jul 2018

About this Wine

Rhone Valley

The Rhône Valley is in the South of France and is situated in the Rhône river valley. The region has been growing wines for centuries and is generally split into two sub-regions. In the Northern Rhône, Syrah is the predominant grape variety, though it is often blended with other white varieties like Marsanne, Rousanne and Viognier, or the red grape Mourvedre. In the Southern Rhône, a wide range of white, red and rosés are produced alongside the undisputed king of the Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The Northern Rhône is cooler than the Southern Rhône and has a continental climate with warm summers and cold winter. The appellations from North to South are Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Château-Grillet, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Péray.

In Southern Rhône, the climate is more Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous appellation but others include Côtes du Rhône, Gigondas and Lirac. Large pebbles are used in the region, placed at the base of the vines to absorb the suns heat during the day, to keep the vines warm at night.

Châteauneuf-du-Papes are blended from the 13 permitted grape varieties, though Grenache usually dominates, supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre. These wines can be supremely rich and complex and typically warrant 5-10 years in the cellar for best results.
