E. Guigal,  Ampuis

 

Cépages/Grape Varieties: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah

 

Marcel Guigal took over the management from his father Etienne in 1971, and is a man of exceptional modesty, as well as a gifted and meticulous wine maker. This is the Rolls Royce of Côtes du Rhône; a rich, fruity and spicy wine, that bears as much resemblance to supermarket Côtes du Rhône as a Rolls does to a Renault 5! There is a price to pay of course, but € 7.20 is much more bearable than the hefty £6.99 it will cost you in the UK.

 

Le Domaine Guigal, fondé en 1946 par Etienne Guigal, est dirigé aujourd’hui par son fils Marcel, et est l’une des références les plus sûres dans la vallée du Rhône. Ce rouge est un vin ample, plein et racé, avec un bel équilibre entre tanins et fruits.

 

€ 7.20 per bottle, € 82.08 per case
