Inky purple. Intensely perfumed, sexy aromas of Asian spices, cherry-cola, violet, yellow rose and black tea. Fresh cherry and dark berry flavors envelop the palate, with zesty minerality providing added lift. Gains sweetness with air, picking up bitter chocolate and candied floral character. Finishes broad, sweet and seemingly endless, with the cola and spice notes repeating.

Producer Information

E. Guigal is one of the most notable wine producers in the Rhne Valley. It was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis where the headquarters remain to this day on the western banks of the Rhne river, a stone’s throw from the famous sun-roasted slopes of the Cte Rtie, and Guigal’s flagship wines, the famous “LaLa”s: La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. Guigal has a long history of winegrowing, and today the company hold plots throughout the nothern and southern Rhne and produces wines from classic northern Rhne and Mediterranean varieties including Grenache, Mourvdre, Viognier and Roussanne, although the focus has always been on Syrah and the Cte Rtie. The company’s sizeable holdings include the likes of Saint-Joseph, Hermitage, Gigondas, Condrieu and Chteauneuf-du-Pape, and wines are made from each, often labeled simply by their appellation title a format that runs into the more affordable Ctes du Rhne range (which can be found in red, white and ros form).
