The Domaine GUIGAL owns, in Condrieu and in Cotie, illustrious plots from which spring notably the Condrieu La Doriane and the famous Cotie La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne, as well as the Chateau d'Ampuis. It processes and produces, in its cellars, besides high-class appellations from the Northern part of the Rhoe Valley (Cotie, Condrieu, Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage), those from the Southern side as well (Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and Cotes-du-Rhone). Wine growing has always been undertaken with due and constant regard for the environment. In fact, a well-planned fight against vine diseases and parasites allow grapes grown within the estate to fully reveal the complexity of the finest soils of Condrieu and of Cotie. The job of selecting and achieving excellence in the process of wine production, carried on from generation to generation, allows Domaine GUIGAL to make available, every year, the Condrieu and the Cotie Brune & Blonde, which constitute bench-marks in these two prestigious appellations. The vineyard of Cotie, which extends over nearly two hundred hectares, is constituted of Cote Brune, upstream from the Reynard, and Cote Blonde, situated downstream. The vines were planted by the Romans and have existed here for nearly 24 centuries. Cote Brune is characterised by the almost exclusive presence of the syrah, a grape-variety that gives powerful and virile wines. On the other hand, the wines from Cote Blonde offers a very seductive smoothness, being rich in Viognier, which refines the Syrah.The yield of this historic, but always fertile, vineyard has, long since, been purposely restricted. In this antique theatre, curiously enough, bliss flows down from the terrace to the arena.The Condrieu appellation comprises about a hundred hectares. Overhanging the right bank of the Rhone, this vineyard is composed solely of viognier, a vine imported from Dalmatia by the emperor Probus in the beginning of the Christian era. Out of this successful settlement was born a unique white wine of a golden colour, tender and refined, with subtle, delicate aromas of apricot and peach, which are both complex and persistent. Terrace growing as well as the steep slopes, with an inclination of more than 65 %, necessitate manual work on the highly slanting vineyards of Domaine GUIGAL. Visit the E. Guigal website.

Coming as it does from the northern Rhone producer Guigal, it should be no surprise that this beefy, robust red is about half Syrah (Syrah is KING in the northern Rhone), the remainder primarily Grenache with a pinch of Mourvedre. It is a great wine for drinking on cold nights ... more

La Turque is Guigal's latest addition to the single-vineyard Cote Roties, acquired in 1985. It is also the smallest, with just under a hectare planted to 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier. Situated on a vertiginous slope in the center of the Côte Brune that enjoys perfect southern exposure, the vineyard ... more

Saint Joseph Blanc is a serious and excellent wine, with weight and complexity but not so imposing as Hermitage Blanc. It is arguably better than the red at the same price. The “Lieu Dit Saint Joseph,” from one of the very finest vineyards in the appellation, is deeper and richer, ... more

A 2.1 hectare site planted entirely with Syrah, La Landonne has been produced since 1978. Guigal acquired the vineyard from numerous small owners, building his holding parcel by parcel over a decade. The vineyard is on one of the steepest of the Côte Brune, a 45 degree slope on pure ... more

The best Gigondas from Guigal that I have ever tasted will certainly be the 2007, which is still aging in tank and large wood vats. His general blend here is about 55-60% Grenache, around one-third Mourvedre and the rest Syrah. This remarkable Gigondas is scheduled to be bottled within the ... more

The 2007 Hermitage Ex-Voto Blanc enjoys the same 100% new oak treatment and 30 months aging in barrel (an uncommonly long time for a dry white wine, but these wines are so concentrated and full, they can easily handle their long aging). The 2007 is more closed than the 2006, ... more

As I have mentioned before, the Cote Rotie Chateau d’Ampuis is a blend of some of the very best sites the Guigal family owns in Cote Rotie. This cuvee is aged 38 months in 100% new oak casks, and about 2,000 cases are produced. The component parts include the famed ... more

Even the 2008 St.-Joseph Vignes de l’Hospice, from a difficult vintage, is an outstanding effort. Incense, camphor, black currants, cherries, licorice, crushed rock and graphite characteristics are present in this dark ruby/plum-colored wine that defies the mediocrity of the vintage. A sleeper of the vintage, it is a tribute to ... more

The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Cote Rotie La Mouline will be bottled around the time this report is released. A superb effort made in the style of the 1991 (which is drinking beautifully at age 20), the 2007 displays silky, velvety tannins, a seamless integration of acidity, alcohol and tannin, and ... more

The 2007 Hermitage Ex-Voto is a flamboyant, exuberant, showy effort that flirts with perfection. Its nearly overwhelming perfume of spring flowers, balsamic notes, blackberries, cassis, melted licorice and espresso roast is followed by an intense, full-bodied wine with silky tannins, massive concentration and a finish that lasts over a minute., ... more
