NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This is a full-bodied and powerful Côte-Rôtie from E. Guigal, a renowned producer in the Northern Rhône.The wine offers aromas of violets, blackberries, and licorice, with an underlying smoky minerality. On the palate, the La Landonne exhibits flavors of dark fruits, spicy pepper, and cured meats, with a long, smooth finish that lingers on the tongue. An excellent choice for those seeking complexity in their red wines.

ORIGINS
Winery: Sine Qua Non
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
