Guigal is the leading wine merchant in the Rhône Valley. Owner and merchant Marcel Guigal now offers an impeccable range across almost all Rhône Valley appellations, including the renowned Côte-Rôtie wines: La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne, as well as, more recently, Château d'Ampuis. Only a few bottles of La Mouline are released each year. It is one of the estate's most emblematic wines, made from vines in the heart of the Côte Blonde.
Winemaking

Grape Varieties: 89% Syrah, 11% Viognier
Alcohol: 14%

Serving Suggestions: Serve at 16-18°C with grilled or sauced red meats, small or large game, poultry, or cheeses such as Livarot.
