E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie ‘Château D’Ampuis’
Well-steeped red and black cherry fruit melds nicely with a broad range of alder, sanguine, black tea, bay leaf and incense notes, which all swirl together through the very lengthy finish. A buried cast iron note gives this the spine it needs for the cellar.
Description
E. Guigal
E. Guigal, established in 1946 by Étienne Guigal in the Rhône Valley, is one of France’s most iconic wine producers, renowned for its dedication to quality and terroir expression. Based in Ampuis, the heart of Côte-Rôtie, the estate is celebrated for its meticulous craftsmanship, particularly its legendary single-vineyard wines: La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque.

Now led by Marcel and Philippe Guigal, the family continues to uphold a tradition of excellence, earning worldwide acclaim and elevating the reputation of Rhône wines.
