jebdunnuck.com, December 2022

(97-100 points) The 2019 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a bigger, richer Côte Rôtie. Co-fermented with a solid chuck of Viognier and around 85% destemmed (the same as the La Turque), this full-bodied effort has a...

Violets, espresso, black and red plums, smoke, and dark red berries permeate the nose. On the palate, the wine quickly asserts its opulent nature. The layers of exotically textured, silky, elegant, and refined fruits with...

Great nose of summer flowers and ripe blackberries with a glaze of toasty oak. A very graceful wine in spite of all the power and concentration. Feels almost weightless until you get to the finish where you feel the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2025

The 2019 Côte-Rôtie La Mouline is textural and concentrated, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices, pepper, gentian and cedar, all framed by a delicate touch of oak. Full-bodied, broad and creamy...

Vinous, March 2024

The 2019 Côte-Rôtie La Mouline bursts with juniper, black cherry, crushed violets, cured meat, vanilla, cedar and a splash of mint. Medium- to full-bodied and remarkably polished, the flamboyant 2019 presents substantial...

Wine Spectator, December 2023

Meaty, chewy and gamy, this substantial red shows beautiful floral lift, with salty mineral energy cruising alongside earthy notes of forest floor, revealing a swatch of black fig puree and mocha. Offers depth, substance...

Decanter, June 2023

There's a touch of currant on the nose here which gives a very ripe impression. Cola oak dominates the palate at this early stage, and the finish is dry. It's powerful and structured, and the intense oak and alcohol...

The wine has garnered significant praise from various professional reviewers, reflecting its high quality and potential for aging.

Dunnuck emphasizes the wine's full-bodied richness and layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, declaring it an exotic wine with a great finish.

Leve describes the wine's palate as opulent, with "exotically textured, silky, elegant, and refined fruits" and a long, sensual finish. He suggests that the wine can be enjoyed from 2030 to 2055.

Decanter's review, which scores the wine at 93 points, highlights its potential, noting that "cola oak dominates the palate at this early stage, and the finish is dry."

The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged for 40 months in new oak barriques, sourced from the gneiss and loess soils of lieu-dit Côte Blonde.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gives the wine a score range of 94-96 points.

Nonetheless, it is described as "supremely elegant."

Vinous, scoring the wine at 96 points, praises its "juniper, black cherry, crushed violets, cured meat, vanilla, cedar and a splash of mint" profile. The review points out the wine's balance through fresh acidity and advises waiting another five years before enjoying it.

James Suckling awards the wine 97 points, highlighting its "great nose of summer flowers and ripe blackberries with a glaze of toasty oak." He finds the wine "very graceful despite all the power and concentration" and notes the "enormous structure" that becomes apparent on the finish.

Wine Spectator also scores the wine at 96 points, describing it as "meaty, chewy and gamy," with "beautiful floral lift" and "salty mineral energy." The review praises the wine's "depth, substance and textural beauty" and suggests it will be best enjoyed from 2025 through 2042.

Overall, the 2019 Guigal Cote Rotie La Mouline is a highly regarded wine with significant aging potential, noted for its complex bouquet, structured palate, and elegant finish.
