The prestigious Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the ancient village of Ampuis, home of the wines of the Côte-Rôtie. In these vineyards of over 2400 years old you can still see the small terraced walls characteristic of the Roman period. Etienne Guigal arrived in this region in 1923 at the age of 14. He made wine for over 67 vintages and, today, winemaker Philippe Guigal is the third generation to continue the family tradition of producing the greatest wines of the Rhône Valley.

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape is made of a blend of mostly Grenache, with Syrah, Mourvèdre and other local varieties, and aged in oak for two years and has rich and savory flavors of macerated red fruits, herbs de Provence, licorice and earth. Serve this Châteauneuf-du-Pape with bean soups, grilled meats and sausages, pasta courses and aged cheeses.

Darker and plummier than the 2016, Guigal's 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape is another fine effort from this quality-conscious négociant. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, with notes of cola, dark chocolate and prune plums that linger on the silky finish. 91-93

Round and softened by time, this wine's bottle aging has brought out softened tobacco notes that layer over cherry and bitter almond skin. Reveals orange peel acidity and cocoa bean on the palate, with campfire and olive tapenade accents. Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah. Drink now through 2028. 20,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.

The 2018 Chateauneuf-du-Pape presents a complex aromatic profile consisting of ripe strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, rose petal and licorice. Polished and harmonious, it offers excellent flavor concentration and closes with good grip on the savory finish.
