Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2017
Côte-Rôtie
December 08, 2021
La Turque is Guigal’s most recent addition to the single-vineyard Cru Côte-Rôties, coming over as part of their purchase of the Vidal-Fleury firm in 1980. La Turque had produced outstanding wines in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but had not been used for wine production for nearly 50 years. The Guigals acquired the vineyard and re-planted it in 1980 and 1981, based on Etienne Guigal’s memory of the quality of the wines it produced during his tenure at Vidal-Fleury. The first vintage was the magnificent 1985. In both position and style, it sits between La Mouline and La Landonne: the complex soils lend an exotic character to La Turque, and its concentration and elegance exhibit the virility of the Côte Brune with the subtlety and femininity of the Côte Blonde.
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2017 (97 VM)
Vinous -December 22, 2022 “Opaque ruby. Displays seductively perfumed aromas of ripe, mineral-drenched black and blue fruits, incense, potpourri and exotic spices. Sweet, gently chewy and penetrating in the mouth, offering sappy blueberry, cherry-cola…

Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 2017
Côte-Rôtie
December 08, 2021
First planted by the Romans 2,500 years ago, La Mouline is the oldest and most famous vineyard of Cote-Rotie, and Guigal’s single vineyard bottling of La Mouline in the 1960s set off a quality revolution throughout the Rhone Valley. The stunning amphitheater is the most complex plot in Cote-Rotie due to its extremely steep slopes with expositions in every direction. Of the three famous “LaLas” that Guigal produces and are the most collectible wines of the Rhone Valley, La Mouline was the first and is the only one on the Cote Blonde, and its signature is an unbelievable exoticism, an irresistibly and unique lifted floral, black fruit, earthy, spicy perfume, its coiled power always in balance, seemingly endless.
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 2017 (97 VM)
Vinous -December 22, 2022 "Saturated violet. Ripe, spice- and mineral-tinged red and blue fruits, incense, vanilla and strong violet notes are highlighted on the exotically perfumed nose. Sappy, penetrating and lively on the palate,…

Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc 2017
Hermitage
December 08, 2021
Ermitage Ex-Voto represents the fulfillment of a longtime dream of Marcel Guigal’s to own vineyard land on the hill of Hermitage. Through the purchase of the de Vallouit and J. L. Grippat domaines in 2000, Guigal acquired four exceptional vineyard parcels on this legendary site. The 2001 vintage was the first release of this estate-bottled Hermitage red and white. The quality of the intense old-vine fruit is quite special, but given the Guigal’s already strong work in Hermitage, they decided to only release an Ex-Voto red or white when the wine is utterly exceptional and clearly superior to their appellation bottlings.
E. Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc 2017 (97 WS)
Wine Spectator -December 08, 2021 "Lush, exotic and thoroughly beguiling, with waves of creamed peach, pear, quince and yellow apple rolling through, laced with subtle threads of quinine, chamomile and acacia before picking up a…

Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2017
Côte-Rôtie
December 08, 2021
The Guigal family spent 15 years restoring Château d'Ampuis, a historic property whose oldest sections date to the 11th century. The Château d’Ampuis has been the symbol of the town of Ampuis and the world-renowned Côte-Rôtie vineyard area for ten centuries. When the Guigal family learned that there was at one time a wine produced with the Château d’Ampuis name, they decided to produce an exceptional wine that would showcase the best that Côte-Rôtie has to offer.
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2017 (96 VM)
Vinous -December 22, 2022 "Deep violet color. Energetic blueberry, black raspberry, potpourri and exotic spice qualities on the extroverted nose. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering sappy black and blue fruit, allspice, star…

Tommasi 53927
De Buris Amarone Riserva 2010
Amarone della Valpolicella DOC
December 07, 2021
De Buris is a timeless wine and a new classic. It is the culmination of the talent, passion, patience, and discipline of the Tommasi family in making Amarone, and an homage to the
Valpolicella region and its great winemaking potential.
Tommasi De Buris Amarone Riserva 2010 (92 JS)
James Suckling -July 25, 2022 "Silky smooth Amarone with peppery red fruit and a spritzy amarena-cherry character. Medium-bodied, it’s a little too relaxed mid-palate, but the tannins are still firm and the fruit remains intact."…

Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2017
Côte-Rôtie
December 07, 2021
One of the three “LaLa” wines that Guigal produces and are the most collectible wines of the Rhone Valley, La Landonne is a remarkable expression of terroir. And for good reason, La Landonne is situated on one of the steepest vineyards of the Côte Brune, a 45 degree slope that remarkably requires harvesters to start picking from the bottom of the vineyard and work their way up, placing grape bunches in bins that are set on sleds and dragged up the hill. Along with its position at the northern end of the Côte Brune and the fact it is the last vineyard to ripen, La Landonne is the mirror of the feminine and voluptuous La Mouline: it is a wine of driving power, defined by its dark fruit and structure. The first vintage Guigal produced was in 1978, after being planted in 1975 at the time of Philippe Guigal’s birth.
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2017 (98 VM)
Vinous -December 22, 2022 "Inky violet color. Highly perfumed, mineral-tinged aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, smoky bacon, olive paste and incense, along with suggestions of woodsmoke and exotic spices. Offers palate-staining, appealingly…

Wine Spectator -December 08, 2021 "This is a brick house, with ample reserves of dark currant and blackberry reduction flavors lined with a strong cast iron note, while dark tobacco, olive and smoldering alder accents…
Quinta do Noval 39491
Nacional Vintage Port 2020
Douro Valley, Portugal
December 06, 2021
The word "Nacional" refers to the fact that the vines are Portuguese vines growing in Portuguese soil with no foreign root stock and are therefore "attached to the soil of the Nation." The survival of the tiny parcel (6 acres) of legendary ungrafted vines is a mystery and the National is a unique and extraordinary phenomenon that does not necessarily follow the same rhythm as the rest of the Quinta do Noval. Nacional is every port lover's fantasy and this great wine is a source of pride to the people of Portugal and at its best the finest expression of the extraordinary terroir of Quinta do Noval.
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port Nacional 2020 (96 JD)
Jeb Dunnuck -February 10, 2023 "As with the base Noval, the 2020 Vintage Port Nacional is much more about opulence, power, and richness than complexity and elegance, but, hey, there's a case for many styles.…
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port Nacional 2020 (99 WS)

Quinta do Noval 39488
Vintage Port 2019
Douro Valley, Portugal
December 06, 2021
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is characterized by its purity of fruit and a fine and delicate quality that is typical of the wines of the property in general but which finds its most remarkable and enduring expression in the Vintage Ports. Equilibrium, harmony, finesse and elegance characterize these great Vintage Ports.
Unlike other Port houses, Noval produces a Vintage Port every year using only a very strict selection of the very best lots, the quantity produced varying accordingly. It is made exclusively from grapes from the Quinta, in the heart of the Douro Valley. The wines selected for the Quinta do Noval Vintage Port blend represent only a small proportion of the total production.
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019 (97 WA)
Wine Advocate -December 06, 2021 “Very concentrated, it adds controlled power and coats the palate. It touches all the bases in terms of expressive fruit and structure, finishing dry and seriously. It showed gorgeous eucalyptus-laced…

Saint Joseph Vignes de l’Hospice 2018
Saint-Joseph
December 06, 2021
Guigal’s Vignes de l’Hospice is one of the finest sites in the Northern Rhone Valley. This steeply terraced vineyard used to be divided into three, but Guigal now owns majority of this parcel in order to restore perception of Saint-Joseph as an appellation of utmost quality. In fact, Guigal is often asked when they will produce a fourth “LaLa,” and their response is that their fourth single vineyard phenomenon of the Northern Rhone is already being produced: the Vignes de l’Hospice.
E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Vignes de l’Hospice 2018 (95 WS)
Wine Spectator -December 06, 2021 "This is packed with dark fig, blackberry and black cherry compote flavors, all wrapped in apple wood and bacony toast before ending with a swath of warm earth on the…

Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge 2018
Saint-Joseph
December 06, 2021
A result of its quality, Guigal’s Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge comes from the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard that gives the appellation its name. This site convinced the Guigals to work in Saint-Joseph and help to restore the historic perception of Saint-Joseph as an appellation of utmost quality. The 100% Syrah wine has complex and deep black fruit, floral, spice and mineral characteristics. Despite its concentration and powerful attack, the wine retains the trademark elegance that Saint-Joseph offers.
E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Rouge 2018 (94 VM
Vinous -December 22, 2022 "Opaque ruby. Displays an array of smoke- and spice-accented dark fruit and floral aromas, along with building olive, tobacco and vanilla notes. Tightly wound and focused in the mouth, offering…

Savigny-Les-Beaune, Burgundy
December 03, 2021
White wines are very unusual in Savigny-Les-Beaune. The vineyards mainly produce red wines. However, Chanson decided to plant Chardonnay here too because of the particular nature of the soil. The wine shows aromas of exotic fruit mixed with floral fragrances.
Domaine Chanson Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Hauts Marconnets Domaine 2019 (90 WS)
Wine Spectator -December 03, 2021 "This sleek white offers a whiff of butterscotch candy on the nose, which gives way to peach, apple pie, butter and baking spice flavors. Fluid and harmonious, with a lingering…

Meursault, Burgundy
December 03, 2021
Chanson's Meursault is a village wine with Premier Cru standards. The grapes are from 4 different plots of vineyards from selected growers. 2 of these plots are located on mid-slope for finesse and minerality. The other 2 are situated around the village for more richness and depth.
Domaine Chanson Meursault 2019 (90 WS)
Wine Spectator -December 03, 2021 "Rich and buttery, yet with an intriguing green note of mint or basil accenting the lemon and apple fruit flavors. Sleek and lingers with pastry and oak spice elements" -…
