Product description
The E. Guigal winery was founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal in Ampuis, in the Rhône Valley..For years, Guigal has specialized in producing both commercial wines (from the market) and wines from its own vineyards, gradually acquiring prestigious vineyards in the appellations of the Northern Rhône.Among Guigal’s most famous vineyards are the iconic Côte-Rôtie wines: La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque—these wines are often collectively referred to as “La La’s”.Guigal is renowned for its rigorous approach to quality: low yields, careful selection of grapes, extended aging in barrels, and the marketing of prestigious vintages.An interesting fact is that in 2007, Guigal's 2003 Côte-Rôtie set a price record for Rhône wine—bottles sold for as much as $800..
