E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2020

Côte-Rôtie

June 23, 2025 - 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. The incredible Syrah from this area, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Chateau d’Ampuis 2020

Cote-Rotie

June 23, 2025 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis is a standout expression of the appellation and a nod to the Guigal family's legacy. Sourced from seven top lieu-dits on both the Côte Brune and Côte Blonde and aged 38 months in new oak, it rivals the LaLas in quality. The wine is named for historic château dating back to the 11th century, restored by Marcel Guigal after he purchased it in 1995. Reviving the estate’s name, the Guigals crafted a wine that reflects both their signature style and the enduring prestige of Côte-Rôtie.
