Guigal Cotes du Rhone Blanc

It was Mr. Etienne Guigal who pioneered the creation of a white Cotes du Rhone. He created a magnificent work using Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne, and other white grape varieties. The world was astonished at how beautiful a white wine from this region could be. And at this price point, it wasn't easy at first. For years, significant investment has been made in the vineyards, which have now reached 25 years of age. Thanks to the extensive attention and hard work, this white wine is now one of the finest from the region.

Completely hand-harvested for this white Cotes du Rhone from Guigal

Guigal produces wines that are among the absolute best in the world! Their wines regularly win awards, and that's well deserved. The estate was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal and remains fully owned by the Guigal family to this day. They combine years of experience with modern equipment. The harvest is small, as only 700,000 bottles of this Guigal Cotes du Rhone Blanc are produced annually. Each grape is harvested separately, as each grape ripens later or earlier, and the Guigal winemakers then create the blend. This white Cotes du Rhone is aged in steel barrels, preserving its freshness and minerality.
