Châteauneuf du Pape AC 2020 - Guigal

About the wine

It couldn't be more unusual - nor more ingenious. Philippe Guigal, a highly talented oenologist, runs the winery founded by his grandfather Etienne in 1946 in the Côtes du Rhône. Everything is extraordinary here: the location on the steep slopes with their carved terraces and the barren soils through which the vines fetch their water from a depth of 15 meters. Guigal always get the most out of the vines and terroir, which is reflected in the quality in small quantities. The ageing takes place in barriques from the in-house cooperage. They achieve top prices for these wines: single-vineyard wines such as La Mouline and La Turque are sold for up to 700 francs. Guigal is the winery with the most wines awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.
