Vinous Tasting Note

Opaque medium ruby. Spectacular, slightly roasted nose explodes with black cherry, raspberry, bitter chocolate, violet, charred oak and pepper. Hugely rich and thick, with great chewy concentration and fullness and a note of dark chocolate. Still extremely primary and a bit tough in the middle, then somewhat rough on the back end, which features slightly dusty tannins and palate-staining persistence. Obviously a wine from a small crop. Perhaps the most backward wine of the tasting, but with great long-term aging potential.

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.
