2017 E. Guigal Cote Rotie "La Landonne"

品飲印象：酒色深濃，近乎不透明的紅黑寶石色。香氣以濃郁黑色果實為主軸，黑櫻桃、漿果與甘草香交織，夾帶烘烤咖啡、東方香料與微妙的橡木香。口感厚實而集中，入口有強烈的齒頰感與結構性丹寧，酸度支撐整體線條，尾韻長且層次豐富。
酒莊與田地：出自北羅納名莊的經典單一園，田土為富含氧化鐵的石灰黏土，老藤約三十五年，產量低且果實集中，是造就高度濃縮與陳年潛力的關鍵。
釀造與陳年：採用恆溫不鏽鋼發酵，連續淋渣法與至少四週長時間浸皮，隨後在全新法國橡木桶中長期熟成約42個月。每個階段皆以精細處理帶出深度與能量。
飲用建議：雖可稍早開瓶嘗試，但建議醒酒1–2小時或提前開瓶，能讓丹寧柔順並釋放更多香氣。非常適合搭配濃味紅肉、野味或陳年乳酪，也非常適合收藏陳年。

Tasting Note: Deep, almost opaque garnet in the glass. The nose opens with concentrated black fruits, black cherry and cassis, layered with liquorice, roasted coffee and exotic spice. On the palate it’s powerful and dense — rich, concentrated flavours with a firm, sculpted tannic frame and impressive oak integration from extended ageing. This wine shows great vertical energy and a very long, persistent finish.
Producer & Vineyard: La Landonne is the third jewel of a celebrated trio from a renowned Northern Rhône house. Parcels sit on iron-rich limestone-clay soils with old vines (around 35 years), producing tiny, intensely flavoured berries that yield exceptional concentration and ageing potential.
Winemaking & Ageing: Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel with continuous pumping over and a prolonged maceration (minimum four weeks). Matured for approximately 42 months in new French oak, the result is a structured, opulent wine built for cellar time.
Cellaring & Serving: A wine designed for ageing; drinking window begins mid-decade. For near-term drinking, decant 1–2 hours to soften tannins and release aromatic layers. Best paired with richly flavoured red meats, game and mature cheeses.
