Guigal is the most important winemaking family of the Rhône. After grandpa Etienne and father Marcel, Philippe, the third generation, is now in charge. What started as a small family business is now a world famous wine brand with a place in the Top 1 Most Admired Wine Brands in the World. Guigal is so appreciated worldwide because of the consistently high quality and the specific, typically regional character of all wines. That focus on quality certainly also applies to their basic wines, such as this red Rhone. It is smooth, tastes fruity with a hint of spiciness. Not heavy at all, but very full. You drink it at the table and also as evening wine. Real Rhone and real Guigal. Tip: if you're looking for a white and red wine for a dinner party, you can combine it with its twin brother: Guigals white Cote du Rhone.
