- Relatively challenging to cultivate, this white grape's plantings were long limited to two appellations in the Northern Rhône - Condrieu, the better known of the two, and Château-Grillet - but its recent gains in popularity inspired plantings in the Languedoc-Roussillon, across California, as well as in parts of Australia, Italy, Spain and South America. Intensely aromatic and full-bodied, Viognier is prized for its aromas and flavors of stone fruits, d'Anjou pears and white flowers. In fact, its...

Description Tasting Notes - Clear, bright, gold yellow color. An intense flowery (violets)and fruity (apricot, white peach, citrus fruit) nose. Fresh, crisp and full. Plenty of fat, richness and smoothness for a dry wine. A harmonious balance between a pleasant, low acidity and full, fleshy fruit. A great deal of elegance and finesse.

Recession Buster 90 Wine Spectator Very bright, with star fruit, braised fennel and fig notes that glide along a rich, creamy texture. Lots of minerality buried on the finish too. List: $29.99

Description WA 93 Pts - According to Robert Parker - The 2010 Condrieu is even more perfumed and intense, boasting stunning minerality in addition to copious notes of honeysuckle, lychee nut and mango. Drink this luscious, medium to full-bodied white over the next 3-5 years. rated 90+ Vintage: 2010

"The best Gigondas from Guigal that I have ever tasted will certainly be the 2007...His general blend here is about 55-60% Grenache, around one-third Mourvedre and the rest Syrah. This remarkable Gigondas [is] dense plum/purple, with notes of garrigue, crushed rock, blueberry, and black raspberries, the wine is full-bodied, with stunning purity, a multi-layered texture, and a long finish. It should drink nicely for 10-15+ years."

With 80 degree weather in Orange County, it's time to fire up the barbecue and I can't think of a better red wine to serve with all grilled creations - Guigal's brilliant 2007 Cotes du Rhone. I sampled the wine last year prior to its release and thought it was pretty darn good and a wine that delivers tremendous value. Having tried the wine again last night, it has evolved to an even more opulent, fruit driven and layered wine with great freshness and terrific balance - perfect with anything from...

Very dense, with espresso, maduro tobacco and a strong tarry edge leading the way for now, while a core of plum cake, hoisin sauce and steeped black currant broods in the background. The dense, ganache-filled finish demands cellaring. This is just a half step behind the La La bottlings now. Very impressive. Best from 2013 through 2024. 2,167 cases made. 95 Points Wine Spectator

Rated 98 points by Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate: `The 2007 Hermitage Ex-Voto is a flamboyant, exuberant, showy effort that flirts with perfection. Its nearly overwhelming perfume of spring flowers, balsamic notes, blackberries, cassis, melted licorice and espresso roast is followed by an intense, full-bodied wine with silky tannins, massive concentration and a finish that lasts over a minute.` -- Robert Parker in the Wine AdvocateAdditional Notes from the Wine Advocate: As I have written many times...

Red Wine by Guigal from Gigondas, France - Rhone. The vineyards of Gigondas are planted on hillsides at the foot of Mont Ventoux, directly north-east of the town of Orange in the southern Rhone Valley. The grape varieties are similar to Chateauneuf-du-Pape; Grenache (60%), Mourvedre (30%), and Syrah (10%) predominate. The dry, stony slopes produce substantial wines that are deep in color, with flavors of ripe summer fruits and savory herbs. Marcel Guigal selects wines from small domains to produce...

Robert Parker - 97 points "The 2007 Cote Rotie La Landonne exhibits notes of black olives, graphite, smoked meats, new saddle leather and pepper. Meaty, rich and full-bodied, it is not as silky textured, voluptuous or flamboyant as its siblings. Forget it for 5-7 years and drink it over the following three decades. The following paragraph is taken from issue #193, but I believe it is so important to understand the Guigal philosophy that I am repeating it verbatim. “As I have written many times...

Rated 92 - The 2007 Hermitage Blanc displays the lusciousness and more open-knit, evolved character of that vintage, and is more flamboyant and showy than the 2006 or 2008. Notes of white currants, hazelnuts, marzipan and quince are all present in this open-knit, full-throttle, full-bodied white Hermitage. Enjoy it over the next decade or more. - Robert Parker

La Turque is Guigal's latest addition to the single-vineyard Cote Roties, acquired in 1985. It is also the smallest, with just under a hectare planted to 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier. Situated on a vertiginous slope in the center of the Côte Brune that enjoys perfect southern exposure, the vineyard benefits from a complex soil of shale and iron oxide that lends finesse to the wine.

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape...
