Hermitage Rhone Valley Red

€47,50 / 75cl inc. VAT

In 2020, the Hermitage rouge E. Guigal asserts itself with remarkable precision, the vintage bringing a freshness that supports an already dense substance. The nose elegantly blends cedar and fine spices with ripe black fruit, while the palate unfolds a promising structure. A wine that retains a youthful momentum while revealing beautiful depth.

Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Every bit as good, if not better, from bottle than barrel, the 2020 Hermitage Blanc has textbook aromas and flavors of white flowers, quince, honeysuckle, and a kiss of salty, chalky minerality. It's full-bodied and has beautiful richness, a layered, mouth-filling texture, and a gorgeous finish. Readers looking for a brilliant Hermitage Blanc that has classic aromas and flavors should buy a case of this. I love it even today, yet I'd give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following decade or more.

About the Producer

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.
