The estate and the wine
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.

Today, Guigal is one of the greatest and most respected talents of the Rhône Valley. It is a sure and unmatched value!
Wine The 2020 Red Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph is a large-scale plot-based wine which, in this very successful vintage, offers a fairly immediatly accessible profile. Its cherry and black fruit aromas, its rich palate, with silky tannins, form a very balanced register, already terribly tasty.  This is a very nice Saint Joseph that has managed to stay fresh, to be discovered now or in a few years with a leg of lamb with herbs.
Vinification Hand harvested, alcoholic fermentation control and temperatures up to 33°C, aged for 24 months in new oak.
