Colour
Deep ruby red with very dark, almost purple highlights.
Bouquet
Intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and ripe dark fruit, supported by liquorice, spice and toasted notes. With air, floral nuances, graphite, black olive and an iron-rich mineral character emerge.
Flavour
Concentrated, powerful and highly expressive. The palate combines rich dark fruit with a firm but harmonious tannic structure. Dense, precise and persistent, with an elegant mineral character and excellent ageing potential.

A FOURTH LEGEND IS BORN

Côte-Rôtie La Reynarde 2022 marks a historic moment for E. Guigal. It is the fourth wine to join the celebrated Côte-Rôtie collection previously known throughout the fine wine world as the “La-La-La” trilogy.

La Reynarde now stands alongside La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne, transforming the legendary trio into the La-La-La-La collection.

The inaugural 2022 vintage comes from a steep 1.6-hectare parcel in the Fongeant sector, above the Côte Brune. The site was cleared and prepared in 2010, the year Philippe Guigal’s twin sons, Charles and Étienne, were born. La Reynarde represents the fourth generation of the Guigal family and the continuation of its remarkable winemaking heritage.

The wine takes its name from the Reynard stream, which historically separated the Côte Blonde from the Côte Brune. In character, La Reynarde reflects both sides of Côte-Rôtie, combining refinement and aromatic elegance with concentration, power and impressive ageing potential.
