La Mouline is the oldest of Guigal’s three legendary single-vineyard Côte-Rôties, the “La La’s,” with a first vintage in 1966. It comes from a small amphitheater of ancient stone terraces in the Côte Blonde, where very old Syrah vines are co-planted with about 11% Viognier. That Viognier gives La Mouline its trademark perfume and silky texture, making it the most seductive of the three. The wine ages more than four years in 100% new French oak before bottling. Expect black raspberry, kirsch and violets, with cola, cured meats, exotic spice and smoky minerality. The palate is full and concentrated yet silky and velvety, with fine-grained tannins and a long, layered finish. Decant for an hour before serving. A collector’s bottle to pour with roast squab, venison or duck.

"Starting out the single vineyards and bottled in February (after over four years in new oak barrels), the 2011 Cote Rotie la Mouline is as slutty, sexy and seamless as they come. Full-bodied, thrillingly concentrated and unctuous, it offers classic Mouline notes of cured meats, violets, black raspberries, espresso and hints of vanilla bean. Philippe Guigal commented that the worst thing about 2011 was the it came after 2010, and while the previous two vintages will get all of the attention, this 2011 will deliver almost as much pleasure, and do it right from the start as well. It needs 3-4 years of cellaring and will drink sensationally through 2041."
