50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre.
Deep dark red in colour. Shiny. Fresh fruits on the nose with red berries and spices. The palate is full, round and racy with rounded and smooth tannins. A full-bodied, rich and intensely aromatic wine. Overall the wine is full with a long finish and plenty of elegance and finesse due to the well balanced tannins and fruit.
With viticultural and winemaking philosophies passed on to him by his father Etienne, Marcel Guigal has built his phenomenal reputation as an exceptional winemaker consistently. There is no secret about the wines of Guigal. Their quality comes from the meticulous care and attention lavished upon them. Marcel Guigal believes in low yields, old vines and allowing grapes and the terroir their own freedom of expression with minimal interference.
The Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the ancient village of Ampuis, home of the wines of the Côte-Rôtie. In these vineyards of over 2400 years old you can still see the small terraced walls characteristic of the Roman period. Etienne Guigal arrived in this region in 1923 at the age of 14. He made wine over 67 vintages and, at the beginning of his career, participated in the development of the Vidal-Fleury establishment.
