From

Born into a family name that’s legendary in the Rhône, this wine is a testament to three generations of Guigal’s winemaking prowess. Each bottle echoes the shimmering stones of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s famed vineyards, capturing sunlit memories with each pour. Crafted with the kind of precision that only comes from legendary cellaring experience, its historical elegance meets avant-garde charm.

In 1946, young Etienne Guigal set the foundation for what would become an empire of Rhône wines. His legacy is etched into these bottles, continued magnificently first by his son Marcel, and today, by his grandson Philippe. Whether the vines are kissed by Rhône’s sun or caressed by a rare frost, the Guigals have a knack for reading nature’s whims, crafting wines with ingenuity and passion.

The 2017 vintage sings with the warmth of a summer that tested and triumphed every growing grape, promising a symphony of flavors that are both rich and refreshingly surprising. Let its warm embrace be your companion through the seasons, as it evolves toward a crescendo of complexity and charm, glass after glass.
