    The vineyards of Domaine E. Guigal stretch across steep terraces, where the schist and granite soils impart a unique minerality to the grapes. The Mediterranean climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, promotes optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines, some decades old, benefit from ancestral know-how passed down through generations. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting the rhythms of nature, to produce grapes of exceptional quality.

    Owner and history

    Today, the E. Guigal estate is managed by Marcel and Philippe Guigal, who carry on their father's legacy. Their passion for wine and their deep connection to the terroir are at the heart of their approach. They have successfully developed the estate while preserving its core values.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine E. Guigal is a meticulous process, blending tradition and modernity. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to guarantee their quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control. The 2018 Côte Rôtie Château d'Ampuis is aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, to add complexity and depth to the aromas. This care at each stage of winemaking reveals the full richness of the terroir and results in a wine of great elegance.
