Syrah is joined by a small amount of Viognier. This substantial Côte-Rôtie is a good partner for roast lamb or duck.

Blueberry, red plum, cassis and blackberry meet chimney soot, green peppercorn and a floral peony note.

Kirsch, blackberry and ripe plum are framed by violet, dried herbs, olive and green pepper.

Pepper and mineral notes sharpen the profile as it opens, while a measured touch of oak adds polish. The finish is long, floral and gently herbal rather than heavy.

Decant carefully and serve with roast duck, lamb, venison or a deeply flavoured mushroom dish.

E. Guigal 1998 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne
French
Blackberry and blackcurrant are densely layered with smoke, tapenade, truffle, dark chocolate and worn leather.

Give it a careful decant and serve with venison, braised beef, lamb shoulder or a deeply flavoured mushroom dish.

French Red
Violet and iris lift raspberry and dark fruit, with pepper, wild herbs and a touch of coffee adding savoury detail.

Its graceful texture and measured spice suit duck, braised beef or roast mushrooms; mature-bottle condition will shape the final expression.
