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.
Wine The 2019 White Condrieu Assemblage Premium offers an honest and fresh reading of the Viognier grape variety. A generous, unctuous, full-bodied wine that reveals itself with elegance and delicacy, with notes of white fruits, citrus and flowers. A very nice bottle to be reserved as an aperitif, with a truffle brouillade, goat cheese or a pike-perch with beurre blanc.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged for 8 months for 1/3 of the juice in new oak barrels and 2/3 in stainless steel tanks.
