Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2022 Guigal La Reynarde Côte-Rôtie marks a historic milestone as the debut vintage of the fourth “La La” single-vineyard cru. Sourced from a steep 1.6-hectare parcel in the Fongeant lieu-dit on the Côte Brune, this pure 100% Syrah is named after the Le Reynard stream. As a result, this landmark wine marries Côte Brune power with fresh energy and exceptional finesse.

The warm 2022 harvest produced concentrated, healthy Syrah grapes with remarkable aromatic depth and ripe tannins. In addition, Philippe Guigal refined the vinification with slightly less new oak emphasis than its famous siblings. Therefore, this debut release delivers intense dark fruit purity alongside thrilling mineral structure.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, the bouquet bursts with aromas of ripe black cherry, blueberry compote, and fresh violets. Soon after, complex notes of cracked black pepper, smoked meats, graphite, and dark chocolate emerge with air.
Palate: In addition, the palate is muscular, deep, and chiseled with fine-grained, structural tannins. Layers of dark berry fruit and crushed schist carry across a powerful, endless finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, pour at cellar temperature (60°F–64°F / 16°C–18°C) in broad stemware. Next, decant for at least 90 minutes to allow this young powerhouse to open fully.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its formidable structure and dark fruit depth, this flagship Syrah demands hearty dishes:

Dry-aged prime ribeye steak with herb butter
Herb-crusted rack of lamb with roasted garlic
Slow-braised venison or wild boar stew
Roast squab with black winter truffles

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

As the first new single-vineyard cuvée from Guigal in decades, La Reynarde is an instant trophy for collectors worldwide. While thrilling in its youthful power today with decanting, this 2022 debut will mature gracefully through 2050+.
