Description

A round and full-bodied Gigondas wine from E. Guigal

The estate

Domaine E. Guigal was founded in 1946 in Ampuis by Etienne Guigal. His son, Marcel, took over in 1961. Today, the third generation continues the heritage and values of this emblematic Rhône Valley family estate.

Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage: the E. Guigal estate oversees a mosaic of vineyards placed in numerous appellations which make up a range of Rhône Valley wines of irreproachable quality.

Over the vintages, the E. Guigal house has seen huge development, notably becoming the owner in 1995 of the famous Château d’Ampuis, as well as many other winegrowing estates (Jean-Louis Grippat, domaine de Vallouit, Domaine de Bonserine and Château de Nalys, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape).

The vineyard

This Gigondas wine is made from a 40 year old vineyard on ancient alluvial soils and sometimes stony red clay on the slopes.

Winemaking and ageing

Following the harvest, the grapes were vinified via a long maceration. This Rhone Valley wine was aged for 2 years in oak tuns (50% new).

Blend

Grenache (70%)
Syrah (20%)
Mourvèdre (10%)
