Producer

Producer

The Domaine E. Guigal vineyard is situated on the steep slopes of Hermitage, where the soil is composed of rolled pebbles and clay. This unique geological configuration allows for excellent drainage and promotes the concentration of aromas in the grapes. The Mediterranean climate, with continental influences, ensures optimal ripening of the grape varieties. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with meticulous care, resulting in grapes of exceptional quality, a true reflection of this exceptional terroir.

Owner and history

Today, the Domaine E. Guigal is headed by Philippe Guigal, continuing his grandfather's legacy, his passion for wine and his attachment to the land are at the heart of his approach. He is committed to producing exceptional wines while respecting the environment. Thanks to his expertise and vision, the domaine has established itself as one of the leaders in the appellation Côte-Rôtie, and their vintages are now benchmarks for enthusiasts worldwide.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Guigal is a handcrafted process that begins with the grapes being hand-harvested, ensuring rigorous selection. After delicate destemming, the grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for the extraction of aromas while preserving freshness. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, for approximately 18 to 24 months. This barrel aging enriches the wine with woody notes while subtly integrating the tannins. Each step is carried out with meticulous care, paying homage to the terroir and winemaking tradition.
