E. Guigal
Land with 24 centuries of history behind it worked and preserved by three generations of winemakers with family values at their core and a commitment to an illustrious terrain that produces prestigious wines. This in a nutshell is the Maison Guigal. Right from the beginning the motto “No Pains No Gains” underpins the promise made to Etienne Guigal. A commitment to work together to follow in his footsteps to communicate the family’s passion and create so many emotions. Today Marcel and Philippe along with their wives are the guardians of this exceptional domain which combines history devotion and a sense of togetherness. A breath of inspiration for generations to come.
Description
This feels regal and old-fashioned in the best way, a gruff, gravelly Gigondas made charming by its subdued fruit and sweet earthiness. Two years in oak foudres - half of them new - has added a brown-sugar richness to the fruit; any cherry notes have been incorporated fully, turning the flavors toward roast meat. Firm and savory, this is a pleasure to drink now, and it's sure to age well over the next decade.
Food Pairing
Lamb Osso-buco with black olives and fennel.
