Wine on the Rocks

Guigal was featured in the story “Wine on the Rocks,” for Wine Enthusiast online. The story discussed the rocky vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and included quotes from Philippe Guigal throughout, touching on topics ranging from the terrain of Chateau de Nalys to the ways in which winemakers combat high alcohol levels. To explain how the rough growing conditions are reflected in the wines, Philippe is quoted saying “the wines are more elegant, even delicate, and Grenache on the stones has better aging potential than elsewhere.” The complete, in depth story can be found attached and read online here

    Guigal's mastery of growing and producing white wine varieties in the Rhone Valley is exemplified in this wine of immense breadth and power, elegance and expression.  Intensely aromatic nose of white flowers, citrus and a touch of vanilla, on the palate the presence is undeniably penetrating, with a deep minerality joining the notes above.

    Guigal produces an intensely concentrated, inviting and complex Châteauneuf-du Pape that is almost unique to the region today. Their passion for Châteauneuf, the leading appellation of the Southern Rhône, runs as deeply as that for their home sites in the Northern Rhône.
