E. Guigal La Mouline 2010 is an exceptional wine from the mythical Côte Blonde terroir, renowned for its Roman amphitheater terraced vineyards. This Cru Rare is a blend of 89% Syrah and 11% Viognier, with vines averaging 70 years of age. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats with traditional pumping-over, followed by a 4-week maceration.
It is then aged for 40 months in new barrels, revealing all the power and aromatic complexity of this exceptional vintage.
To the eye, La robe deep garnet red with crimson highlights announces great concentration.
The intense nose reveals aromas of ripe black fruit, floral notes of peony and violet, and a subtle touch of cocoa and sweet spices.
On the palate, the attack is full and silky, with a velvety texture marked by fine, ripe tannins, offering a perfect balance between opulence and finesse. Remarkably long, with an elegant finish of licorice and truffle.
This grand vin de garde can be kept for over 20 years, gaining in complexity with age.
Served between 16 and 18°C, it is the perfect accompaniment to exceptional dishes such as hare à la royale, beef tenderloin Wellington, or spice-roasted mallard duck, where its aromatic power and depth sublimate every mouthful.
