Wine Advocate

As are most of the top Guigal wines, the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. I retasted the 2008 Cote Rotie La Mouline and it clearly is the least impressive example of this cuvee I have tasted in my thirty years of visiting Guigal. Nevertheless, as the score indicates, it is excellent. While more angular, narrowly constructed and shorter than the great vintages, it is ripe, reveals no vegetal characteristics, and still has a residue of the ethereal La Mouline perfume of spring flowers, black raspberries and a touch of bacon fat. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
