"I have almost unlimited admiration for the Guigals and their Côtes du Rhône that are among the finest of the entire Rhone Valley"...Robert Parker
Guigal is arguably the most famous producer in the Rhône Valley and vintage after vintage, their collection wines have become known for their consistency of supreme quality. This latest release is seriously seducing, showing off the Rhone Valley white varieties, exploding with fresh apricot and peaches, a distinctive aroma and plenty of richness and body on the palate. A perfect match with seafood and Asian cuisine.
60% Viognier, 15% Roussanne, 10% Marsanne, 8% Clairette 5% Bourboulenc 2% Grenache Blanc.
The winery writes "Yellow gold, clear and brilliant. Freshness marked by the distinctive aromas of Viognier; white flowers, apricot, acacia and white peach. Fruity with plenty of richness and body. A well-rounded wine with elegance, strength and balance."
Jeb Dunnuck writes "Always a winner, especially when you consider the volume produced, the 2019 Côtes du Rhône Blanc reveals a vivid gold hue as well as beautiful notes of crushed citrus, honeyed peach, and white flowers to go with a medium-bodied, crisp, clean style on the palate. With good acidity and a dry finish, it’s going to shine on the dinner table and keep nicely for 2-3 years. It’s a smoking value."
