Winemaker Notes
An immense and pure wine with intense flavors and deep color, this is the perfect wine for aging.
Professional Ratings
98 James Suckling
This shows intense power, yet it’s channeled and restrained and combines structure and layering with a subtle touch to the complex aromas that include dark berries, dark plums, cocoa, bark, earth, smoke and baking spices. It's full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Driven and textural with a long, focused finish. Drink from 2030.
97 Jeb Dunnuck
I suspect the wine of the vintage, the 2021 Côte Rôtie La Landonne delivers blackberries, smoked meats, and graphite in a medium to full-bodied, layered, and ultra-classic style. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 42 months in new French oak, it shows remarkable purity, polished tannins, and a brilliant, smoky character.
Barrel Sample: 95-97
96 Vinous
The 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne unfurls with prominent black olive, pencil shavings, cured meat, raspberry and wood spice. Fragrant orange blossom and violet nuances add a floral lift. Ripe and firm yet remarkably polished tannins provide solid structure. Showing more energy and ambition than La Mouline and La Turque, the 2021 La Landonne is a medium-bodied Côte-Rôtie with scope and concentration.
Barrel Sample: 93-96
96 Wine Spectator
Smoldering with cast iron mineral notes fused to plum paste, black tea, mesquite ash and cigar box, this is savory, brooding and complex. Shows lift and tangy acidity on the palate, with a kick of white pepper alongside warm spice cake and vanilla. The tannins are smoothing out nicely; this is almost ready to drink now—but don’t do it.
96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Immediately recognizable for its signature notes of bell pepper and stem-inflected nuances wrapped in aromas of tobacco, baked dark berries and spices, the 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, with a layered core of fruit built around its characteristically stem-derived tannins. The mid-palate is slightly softer than in 2020, a natural consequence of the vintage’s profile, yet the wine remains perfectly balanced and unmistakably faithful to its identity.
94 Decanter
Very spicy on the nose, with sparky cinnamon along with the ashy, smoky notes from the whole bunch. Medium-bodied for La Landonne, this isn't a huge wine by any means, but it’s decidedly fresh. The tannins are quite drying for now, but certainly fine. Not as long or concentrated as many recent years, but will emerge a fresh, balanced and complex wine in time. 100% whole bunch used. At the beginning of its long maturation in 100% new oak barriques.
