About E. Guigal

Philippe Guigal, a highly talented oenologist, runs the winery in Ampuis in France's Rhône Valley, founded by his grandfather Etienne. Everything here is exceptional: its location on steep slopes with terraces carved into them, and the poor soils that force the vines to draw water from depths of up to 15 metres. The Guigals bring out the best in their grapes and terroir, resulting in top quality in limited quantities. The wines are aged in barriques made in the estate's own cooperage, and these magnificent wines command premium prices. It is hardly surprising, then, that Guigal is the winery with the most wines awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.

The Region

The Rhône is of great importance for winegrowing. It links four wine-growing areas that differ greatly in terms of climate, topography and grape varieties: the northern and southern Rhône, the area around the Drôme tributary in the middle, and the area east of the southern Rhône. The north has a continental climate, with harsh winters and hot summers. Almost exclusively Syrah—the only permitted red grape variety—and the white Viognier are grown on steep slopes with granite-rich soils; the prestigious wine-growing areas of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie are located here. The south, facing the sea, benefits from a Mediterranean climate and sandy, rocky soils. Most of its wines are blends of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, which are also used in the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape region.
