The Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2015 and Crozes-Hermitage Rouge 2015 were featured online in a “Warming Winter Wines” story for Texas Lifestyle Magazine. Wine writer Robin Barr Sussman recommended a list of reds to enjoy as temperatures dip and noted that the Guigal family “produces exceedingly impressive value wines.” Robin described the Côtes du Rhône as “juicy with ripe tannins, black cherry and ripe blackberry flavors with nuances of smoke, spice and pepper,” and recommended serving it alongside barbecue, gourmet burgers and pizza. The Crozes-Hermitage is noted as a “gateway to luxury wine with an approachable price tag,” with “warm flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, campfire smoke and savory notes.”
