Producer

Producer

The E. Guigal vineyard stretches across steep terraces, typical of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. The soils, primarily composed of schist, impart minerality and depth to the wines. The continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters, promotes optimal grape ripening. The vines, often several decades old, are cultivated with care, allowing the full richness of the terroir to be expressed. The diversity of the plots, ranging from the oldest to the youngest, contributes to the complexity of the wines produced by the estate.

Owner and history

Today, the estate is managed by Marcel Guigal, son of Étienne, who has successfully carried on the family legacy while adding his own personal touch. Under his leadership, the estate has continued to grow, winning numerous awards and international acclaim. Marcel Guigal is a passionate advocate for terroir and quality, ensuring that each wine tells the story of its origins. A commitment to the environment and sustainable viticultural practices is also a priority, guaranteeing that future generations will be able to enjoy the exceptional richness of the estate's wines.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine E. Guigal is a meticulous process, blending tradition and innovation. The carefully selected grapes are destemmed before being fermented in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the freshness of the aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, allowing the tannins to soften and subtle woody notes to develop. The aging period is tailored to each cuvée, achieving a perfect balance between power and elegance. Each step is carried out with meticulous attention, reflecting the estate's commitment to excellence.
