E Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rosé [2018] 750ml Rosé

Rhône leader continues to take on new challenges

Birth of Gigal

Guigal was founded in 1946, shortly after the war. After that, in just half a century, it has grown significantly to become one of the leading producers in the Northern Rhône. The single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie, commonly referred to as ``Guigal's triple brothers,'' ``La Mouline,'' ``La Landonne,'' ``La Turque,'' and Condrieu's ``La Driane'' solidified Guigal's reputation. It has an overwhelming position that is unparalleled, especially in these two appellations.

soaring prologue

In the 1980s, second generation Marcel took over Vidal Fleury, where founder Etienne Guigal had worked since the age of 14.・I got "Danpuis". In 2001, it acquired both Jean-Louis Grippa and Domaine de Valouly, and produced ``Vignes de l'Aspices'' and ``Rue di Saint-Joseph'' in Saint-Joseph, and ``Aix Votes'' in Hermitage. We have created new items such as Furthermore, in 2006, we invested in Domaine de Bonserine. This is brewed and sold as an independent brand.

Producing outstanding wines

In addition, we finally achieved our long-held dream of acquiring Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Château de Nalys is one of the oldest owners of fields in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, as it is already listed in the cadastre at the end of the 16th century. In 2017, the Guigal family fell in love with the exceptional terroir and glorious history of Château de Nalys and took it under their ownership.

Wine making inherited from generation to generation

Today, the third generation, Philippe, is in charge of winemaking at the Maison. One thing that speaks to Guigal's uncompromising spirit of quality, which has been passed down to him, is his commitment to barrels. The Cote Rotie triplets are kept in new barrels for as long as 40 months, so the quality of the oak barrels is extremely important. To ensure its quality, since 2003 Guigal has set up a barrel workshop at Château d'Empuis, producing the approximately 800 oak barrels needed each year.
