E. Guigal Wein

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 some of the world’s most sought-after and renowned wines. The Guigal story begins in 1924, when Etienne Guigal, at the age of 14, started working in the cellars of Vidal Fleury. By 1946, he had already spent several years as cellar master and decided it was time to establish his own company. This happened in Ampuis, located in the heart of the Côte Rôtie appellation. In 1961, his son Marcel joined the company. He is now in charge of Guigal, while his own son Philippe, the third generation, is responsible for the winemaking process. Guigal makes “simple” winemaking brilliant. They work entirely organically in the vineyards, maintain low yields, and avoid intervention in the cellar. In summary, 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” count among the estate’s crown jewels.
