Description
Guigal is the pioneer of "single vineyards" in Côte Rôtie. From its three most famous vineyards "La Landonne", "La Mouline" and "La Turque" come the most sought after and famous wines in the world. The Guigal story starts in 1924, when Etienne Guigal started working in the cellars of Vidal Fleury at the age of 14. By 1946 he had been cellar master for some time and he thought it was time to set up his own company. This happened in Ampuis, located in the heart of the Côte Rôtie appellation. In 1961 son Marcel joins the company. He is currently in charge of Guigal and his son Philippe, 3rd generation, is responsible for the production process of the wines. Guigal makes "simple" winemaking genius. They work completely organically in the vineyards, use low yields and there is no intervention in the cellars. In short, we work with respect for nature and passion for wine. Besides the "La, La, La" wines, Côte Rôtie "Château d'Ampuis", Condrieu "La Doriane" and the L'Ermitage "Ex Voto" are some of the domain's crown jewels.
The La Landonne is the largest, firmest and most tannic of Guigal's three 'LaLa wines'. Made from 100% syrah on a soil of calcareous clay with a high iron content. The wine matures for 42 months in new French oak. The 2020 Cote Rotie La Landonne is the undisputed star of Guigal. Not only is it incredibly complex on the nose - with a great stew of vege-herbal nuances mixed with cassis and smoked meats - but also full, concentrated, velvety in texture and remarkably long and tannic. With a few years the wine will improve even further. The wine has received the maximum score of 98-100/100 from Parker.

Maison E. Guigal is a winery with a great reputation. The company was founded in 1946 and is now three generations old. Founder Etienne Guigal strongly determined the current identity of this producer. Before setting up his own winery he collected his first experiences with the producer Vidal-Fleury. Marcel Guigal and his son Philippe are now in charge of the company. The latter is responsible for winemaking and thus follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, who experienced no fewer than 67 vintages.
Guigal is located in Ampuis, just 38 km south of Lyon. Here it has 60 hectares of land in the Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf du Pape, Tavel and Gigondas appellations. The Guigals are now also the owners of Domaine de Bonserine and Vidal Fleury. Since 1995, Guigal has managed the company from the famous Château d'Ampuis. This castle dates from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 16th century.
The wine magazine Decanter named Marcel Guigal in 2006 "Man of the year." Renowned wine guide Guide Hachette takes it one step further and calls Guigal "the best winemaker in the world." Robert Parker also has deep respect for Guigal. The top wines of this producer regularly receive the highest score of 100 points. The 'La La' wines are special. These come from the 3 top locations 'La Turque', 'La Landonne', and 'La Moulin'.
