The Maison GUIGAL vinifies and ages in its cellars, in Ampuis, the northern appellations of the Rhône Valley which are Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The aging of the southern appellations Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and Côtes-du-Rhône is also assured in the Ampuis cellars.
The Hermitage 'Ex-Voto' is produced in the greatest vintages while the Saint-Joseph 'Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph' in white and red and the famous Saint-Joseph red 'Vignes de l'Hospice' constitute references for this Appellation.
Among the jewels of the Domaine Guigal there are the inevitable Côte Rôtie "La Landonne", "La Turque" and "La Mouline". Known throughout the world, wine lovers of the Rhône are tearing themselves away. Some great vintages: 1978, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2005

(08-2014) The 2000 Cote Rotie la Mouline is an open, evolved and semi-mature example of this cuvee that has classic aromatics, full-bodied richness and no hard edges on the palate. Drinking beautifully now, with a ripe, open style, I’d plan on opening bottles over the coming decade, although I suspect it will last longer.
(07-2004) Terrific combination of the best of both worlds in Côte-Rôtie--the ripe, powerful raspberry and blackberry fruit, coffee and cocoa notes, along with the alluring, sauvage game, mineral and spice flavors. Both camps work hand-in-hand here, and take turns in extending the amazingly long finish.
