One of the powerhouses of the Rhône and a name synonymous with beautifully crafted wines from some of the regions finest vineyard sites. Etienne Guigal formed his own estate in 1946, and was joined by his son Marcel in 1961. They purchased the Château d’Ampuis in 1995, today fully restored, it is the headquarters of the estate and home to the Guigal cooperage. Marcel’s son, Phillipe is the winemaker and Guigal produce a range of stunning wines from across the terroirs of the Rhône. The jewels in the crown of the estate’s production are the three stellar lieux-dit Côte Rôtie’s – La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque.

The Guigal family has made serious rosé wines since the 1940s, and their Côtes du Rhône Rosé, like all their Côtes du Rhône wines, is humble in name only. The wine bursts with irresistible fresh red fruits and yet is also long and satisfying. Because of its quality and body, it’s a rosé that you can bring to the table, and do so all year long. It is a rose that offers both refreshment and pleasure.
