The estate and the wine |
|
|
Maison Guigal is the pinnacle of French viticulture today…a fantastic success story coupled with a tremendous human adventure that truly does it all: from producing large volumes with unwavering quality and regularity to delivering amazing parcel-based wines.
Three years ago, this Rhône giant became an owner in the queen appellation of the south of the region, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, acquiring the 50 hectares of Château de Nalys, one of the flagship estates in this sector. Very famous for its white wines, it also excels in reds and it is an exciting adventure that opens for Maison Guigal with this new chapter in its history.
With vineyards on the three key terroirs of Châteauneuf, Nalys benefits from an invaluable heritage that Guigal is now perpetuating, applying the same recipes that have made it successful elsewhere in the Rhône Valley. |

In a very contemporary style, with strong aromas of fruit, the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Saintes-Pierres de Nalys unfolds a tender, velvety palate with melted tannins and a masterful balance. With little extraction, marked by Grenache grapes which dominates the blend by two-thirds, it delivers an extremely pure aromatic palette, with an innate freshness. A bottle that will be perfectly at ease with hunting dishes or grilled meat. |
