This lot comprises four bottles of 1993 vintage La Mouline produced by E. Guigal from the Côte-Rotie appellation at Rhône.

The wine region on the Rhône is not only very old, it also produces some of the best wines that, despite their longevity, can also provide great enjoyment in their youth. After Lyon, the Rhône hurriedly descends to the south. Here, on the west bank, the Côte Rôtie wines are produced, while the Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage appellations are situated on the east bank. In the northern reaches of the Rhône, Syrah is king. White wines are produced from Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier. The vines grow in mineral-rich, structure-giving floors consisting of weathered granite with feldspar, gneiss and mica. A completely different world, in terms of topography, viticulture and culture, is located in the southern Rhône valley: here, Mediterranean grape varieties like the red and white Grenache are at home. They dominate the Cuvées, which, like the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is made from a dozen different grape varieties.

The 1993 vintage La Mouline was rated 88 points by Robert Parker in 1997. The wine was rated 87 points by Wine Spectator in same year.

The fill levels are excellent (< 3 cm). The labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
