Guigal La Landonne 1991
Guigal La Landonne 1991 is a red Côte-Rôtie wine crafted by Domaine Etienne Guigal, made from 100% Syrah. The Wine Advocate awards it 99/100 and Jancis Robinson 18/20. Critics describe a very deep and concentrated wine, with nuances of smoke, licorice, spices, leather, and black fruits, supported by a dense structure and still perceptible oak influence. The Wine Advocate recommends drinking it between 2000 and 2030; Jancis Robinson between 2005 and 2030.

Histoire du domaine
Étienne Guigal founded Maison Guigal in Ampuis in 1946, having worked at Vidal-Fleury from 1924 onwards and played a part in the development of this Rhône-based estate. He produced wine from 67 vintages in Côte-Rôtie during his career. In 1961, his son Marcel Guigal took over the management of the business alongside his father, who had lost his sight. Bernadette Guigal joined the family business in 1973. The company acquired the Vidal-Fleury estates in the early 1980s, whilst maintaining their identity and commercial autonomy. In 1995, the family acquired Château d’Ampuis, on the banks of the Rhône. Philippe Guigal, who trained in oenology, officially joined the company in 1997 after having been involved in the technical aspects for several years. In 2001, the acquisition of the Jean-Louis Grippat and Vallouit estates expanded the family’s vineyards in the Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage appellations. The company established its own cooperage at Château d’Ampuis in 2003. Philippe Guigal is now managing director and head of winemaking, alongside Marcel Guigal, chairman of the family business.
