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 Just opened, the 2021 white Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph unfolds beautiful perfumes of ripe fruit, combining freshness and finesse to perfection. Full of energy and tension, taking full advantage of this straight and energetic vintage, it imposes itself without constraint, in a slender profile, with a slight honeyed and toasted accent. An ideal vivacity !
