Winemaking
Philippe Guigal is a meticulous winemaker, with each stage of the winemaking process demanding extreme care and attention to detail. According to Guigal, “This is where the quintessence of a great wine is split between artisanal techniques and the modern tools of vinification. This duality brings out the complexity of the grape variety’s character and the specific characteristics of the terroirs from which they come.” He applies the same care and attention to every wine he makes, from the signature Côtes-du-Rhône to the much sought-after “La Las”.
The wines of the Maison Guigal are crafted in the family’s tasting room that lies in the very heart of the historic cellars of the domain. A daily ritual is performed in the calm of this sanctuary as father and son work on their precious blends. Aromas, structure, flavours – each nuance is studied. Hence the reason why long months of tasting are required to achieve excellence and evoke intense and authentic emotion. Through this natural alchemy, the balance and consistent quality of the wines of this great Rhône estate are ensured vintage after vintage.
