The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine It was in the ancient village of Ampuis, cradle of Côte-Rôtie wines (you can still see the low walls characteristic of the growing in terraces dating from Roman times in these 2400 year old vineyards), that the Guigal estate was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal.
Wine The Côte du Rhône 2007 is a special treat. Fresh and seductive, the fruit literally explodes on the palate. Guigal pays particular attention to its entry level wine that remains the reference for wine for every day enjoyment.
Vinification Traditional vinification, controlled fermentation temperatures, long macerations, aging for 18 moths in oak vats. Yield: 41 hl/hectare.
