La Landonne is the most powerful and austere of the trio, planted on the Côte Brune slope, reestablished in 1975, and known for its density, depth, and cellar-worthy structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe wine is crafted by Guigal’s in-house team, with leadership currently by Marcel and Philippe Guigal.

At the northern end of the Côte Brune, it is one of the last vineyards in Côte-Rôtie to ripen, benefiting from warm sun exposure and cooler nights—delivering concentrated fruit, tannin, and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes undergo about 4 weeks of maceration with continuous pumping over, and minimal destemming.
