title: E. Guigal 2009 Brune et Blonde  (Côte Rôtie)
description: Guigal's 2009 entry-level Côte Rôtie comes across as a bit austere. Cool scents of crushed stone and black olive mark the nose, while the palate is firm and tight, only slowly giving up hints of espresso. Drink 2018–2024.
variety: Syrah
designation: Brune et Blonde
