Iconic Cte-Rtie Elegance from an Exceptional Vintage

The 2003 E. Guigal Cte-Rtie La Landonne is a masterpiece from one of the Rhne Valleys most revered producers. Sourced exclusively from the La Landonne vineyard, this wine is made from 100% Syrah vines rooted in steep, terraced schist soils. The vintage was marked by record heat and dryness, resulting in incredibly concentrated, age-worthy wines with extraordinary richness and structure.

Winemaking & Maturation

Fermented traditionally with extended maceration and aged for 42 months in new French oak barrels, La Landonne is a wine of immense power and depth. This bottling is consistently one of the most collectable and long-lived Syrahs in the world.
