2019 E. Guigal Chateau d'Ampuis Magnum

Guigal is the pioneer of the "single vineyards" in Côte Rôtie. From his three most famous vineyards "La Landonne", "La Mouline" and "La Turque" come the most sought-after and famous wines of the world. The Guigal story starts in 1924, when Etienne Guigal starts working in the cellars of Vidal Fleury as a 14-year-old. By 1946 he has been cellar master for some time and he thinks it is 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 ingenious. They work completely organically in the vineyards, use low yields and there is no intervention in the cellars. In short, they work with respect for nature and passion for wine. In addition to the "La, La, La" wines, Côte Rôtie "Château d'Ampuis", Condrieu "La Doriane" and L'Ermitage "Ex Voto" are some other crown jewels of the domain.

The Cote Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis is remarkably dense and concentrated, packed with dark fruit and rich tannins. Impressively deep aromas of graphite, tar, dark plums, blackberries, chocolate, pepper and all sorts of baking spices. It is full and supple on the mid-palate, with hints of vanilla, espresso and blackberries, dried herbs finishing with a long, velvety finish. Give it another 3-6 years in the cellar and drink it over the next two decades. This is a 1.5 litre magnum in original wooden case (OWC/1).
