Domaine Guigal is a prestigious family estate in the Rhône Valley, founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal. The estate produces wine in various regions in the north and south of the area and has been awarded 100 Parker points for several of its wines. The estate has 140 hectares of vineyards. The vineyards for Guigal Crôzes Hermitage have an average age of 35 years and are planted on clay-loam and sandy-gravel soils. The area has a continental climate.
After being hand-harvested, this red Crozes Hermitage is aged for a full eighteen months in oak barrels in the Guigal cellars. This crucial period is crucial for this wine, as it acquires strength, finesse, and richness. This wine is still produced by the Guigal family, and they proudly share their expertise with the world. Hats off to you, this red Crozes Hermitage is a true sensation. The color is deep red and very dark, indicating a full and ripe Côte du Rhone. This is also reflected in the aroma, which offers notes of ripe black fruit, marinated strawberries, light spices, and delicate aromas of pepper, cedar, and licorice. The palate reveals beautiful recurring notes of black fruit and spices. But it also offers more surprising impressions of nuts, vanilla, blueberries, and ripe, sweet herbs. The finish of this Crozes Hermitage is very soft and full of notes of black fruit. Masterpiece by E. Guigal!
