The Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, a small, ancient and now famous village found at the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. It is overlooked by unique vineyards where vines and wine have been celebrated for well over 2,400 years. Marcel Guigal took over management of the domain when his father was struck by temporary but total blindness in 1961, and was later joined by his wife, Bernadette and they worked hand-in-hand to expand the family business. In 1975, their son Philippe was born and today he is the domain’s oenologist. Together with his wife, Eve, he represents the third generation and continues the family’s lifetime endeavour to create some of the greatest wines of the Rhône valley. To continue this pursuit, in 2003 the Guigals, launched themselves into a brand-new adventure: barrel making. This craft enables them to master another skill within the charming historical surroundings of the Château d’Ampuis and gives another level of control in which they can use to craft their ever growing portfolio of wine from around the Rhone Valley's.

Tasting Note:
Without a doubt one of the most consistent wines to come from the Rhone Valley every year. This wine is generally released on the market with a few years of age on it, so this has to be one of the best buys you will find. 
This wine is intensely aromatic with fresh and ripe mixed berries such as red and black raspberries, strawberry, plum and cherry, and notes cracked pepper, all spice and floral aromatics on the finish. Overall it's full, round and racy with smooth tannins and a long elegant finish and plenty of that honest drinkability factor which is important!

This is a Dry, Medium bodied wine with Medium+ acidity and Medium tannin. It is Medium+ in it's intensity with Medium alcohol and a Medium+ finish.
