Guigal La Mouline 2018 epitomizes the refined elegance and rich heritage of the Rhône Valley’s most esteemed white wines. Crafted by Guigal, a family-owned estate that has shaped the Rhône’s reputation for excellence since 1946, this wine showcases the exceptional qualities of the Côte Blonde terroir with remarkable finesse and complexity.

La Mouline is a distinguished member of Guigal’s iconic “La La” trio, renowned for its delicate expression of Viognier. The 2018 vintage, marked by ideal climatic conditions, enhances the wine’s aromatic purity and vibrant intensity. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious blend of lively citrus notes, fragrant white flowers, and succulent stone fruits, all underpinned by a distinct mineral character derived from the limestone-rich soils of the Côte Blonde.

Meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques ensure that each bottle delivers a sophisticated balance of richness and freshness. The wine’s elegant structure and bright acidity make it an exquisite pairing for seafood, poultry, and creamy dishes, while its aging potential promises evolving layers of complexity for years to come.

Available as an international pre-arrival offer with estimated dispatch from April 2026, Guigal La Mouline 2018 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a flagship white wine that embodies the timeless tradition, terroir-driven character, and unparalleled quality of the Rhône Valley.

Critic Scores

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. 98-100 Points, Joe Czerwinski - Published: Feb 11, 2022

Violets, espresso, black and red plums, smoke, and dark red berries permeate the nose. On the palate, the wine quickly asserts its opulent character. The layers of exotically textured, silky, elegant, and refined fruits, with all their purity, linger for nearly 60 seconds. The wine combines 89% Syrah with 11% Viognier. Philippe Guigal thinks this reminds him of the 1988. Drink from 2030-2055. Jeff Leve - Tasted: Jun 2025

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.
