Guigal is arguably the most famous producer in the Rhône Valley. Founded by Étienne Guigal in 1946, his son Marcel is almost single-handedly responsible for the regions resurgence over the last few decades. Anyone who knows French reds will agree that the Guigal CdR is one of the Rhône's most consistent performers and the 2022 is right on form. This is a golden opportunity to put some world class, syrah dominant Côtes du Rhône on your table for a song. Get involved.

Tasting Notes
Vinted from a blend of syrah (50%), grenache (40%), and mourvèdre (10%).
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's wonderfully styled and inviting on the nose with dark plum, sweet cherry, cured meat, thyme, and hazelnut aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight, a plump mouthfeel, and velvety texture, wonderfully framed by layers of fine tannins, making it sturdy yet silky and smooth with a lengthy, flavoursome finish."
Jeb Dunnuck writes "The Cotes Du Rhone is smoking good, offering up blackberries, pepper, and garrigue in a round, supple, medium to full-bodied style. Based on 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre, partially aged in oak foudres, this impressive effort shows remarkable quality for the appellation."
Wine Enthusiast writes "Black plum and cocoa-dusted, white-button-mushroom aromas bump against raspberry and black tea, on the nose. The palate is fulsome in body yet reserved in flavor with red fruit riding all the way to the finish that is made more complex by velvety tannins that demure."
The winery writes "Deep and dark red. Brilliant in colour. Fresh fruits with red and black berries on the nose. Full, powerful and racy. Rounded and smooth tannins. A full bodied rich and intensely aromatic wine. Full with a soft finish and plenty of elegance and finesse due to the well balanced tannins and fruit."
