Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Leading off the Côte Rôties, the 2019 Côte Rôtie Chateau D'Ampuis is always a brilliant wine, and in recent years, it's come close to rivaling the single vineyard releases. Don't believe me? Put it in a blind lineup and let me know the results. The 2019 is absolutely brilliant, and I'd put this up with the finest vintages of this cuvée to date, including 2009, 2010, 2017, and 2018. Awesome aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, tapenade, iron, and gamey, meaty, floral notes all emerge on the nose, and this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered mouthfeel, beautiful yet substantial tannins, and a great finish. Hide bottles for 4-6 years if you can and enjoy over the following 15-20 years. As always, the Chateau D'Ampuis comes from a mix of seven lieux-dits spread across the appellation and sees the same four years in new barrels as the single vineyards.

About the Producer

The E. Guigal estate, a jewel of the Rhône Valley, has been anchored in Ampuis since its founding in 1946 by Étienne Guigal. On these lands where vines have flourished since Roman times, a long family history has been written. Marcel Guigal succeeded his father in 1961, breathing new life into the estate, notably through the acquisition of Vidal-Fleury. Today, Philippe Guigal represents the third generation, perpetuating the family legacy with passion and precision. From the cellars of Ampuis, the E. Guigal estate crafts the finest northern appellations with extreme care, without overlooking a few southern gems. Côte-Rôtie holds a place of honor, with its iconic single-vineyard cuvées—true benchmarks such as La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque—not to mention the Château d'Ampuis and the famous Brune et Blonde de Guigal. Guigal's talent is also expressed in the Condrieu appellation with La Doriane, as well as in Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, and of course, the essential Côtes du Rhône. A family saga dedicated to the excellence of Rhône Valley wines. Among the most sought-after cuvées are E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline, E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, and E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque, which serve as essential references for understanding the identity of the house.
