E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2020
Côte-Rôtie
August 29, 2024 - Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area.

Hubert Brochard Sancerre Les Trois Coteaux 2023
Sancerre
August 19, 2024 - This Sauvignon comes from our vineyards surrounding the winery based in chavignol in the center of the Appellation. It is a caillotes soil (small chalky stones).
