Guigalovo rdeče vino Châteauneuf-du-Pape se ponaša z globoko, intenzivno rubinasto barvo. V nosu razkriva arome pikantnega rdečega sadja. Prisotne so tudi nežne note hrasta in svilnati, zaobljeni tanini.

Vino Domaine Guigal je leta 1946 ustanovil Etienne Guigal v Ampuisu, majhni, starodavni vasi in rojstnem kraju apelacije Côte-Rôtie. Ponaša se z edinstvenim vinogradom, kjer trto in vino slavijo že 2400 let. Leta 1961 je Marcel Guigal, še zelo mlad, prevzel vodenje posestva skupaj z očetom. Njegov sin Philippe je zdaj generalni direktor in vinar, ki predstavlja tretjo generacijo. Posestvo trenutno obsega 75 hektarjev vinogradov.

Vinarstvo
Grozdje se obira ročno, s skrbnim sortiranjem, ki mu sledijo redna prelivanja in nadzor temperature med fermentacijo. Fermentacija poteka v zaprtih posodah iz nerjavečega jekla približno tri tedne. To vino se stara 36 mesecev v hrastovih sodih, od katerih je 50 % novih.

Okusne note
Vino ima globoko, temno rubinasto rdečo barvo. V vonju se pojavljajo arome majhnega, začinjenega rdečega sadja. Vino razkriva tudi nežne lesne arome in okrogle, dobro integrirane tanine. Okus je poln in strukturiran z notami maline, robide in vanilije.

Predlog za serviranje: Odlično se poda k divjačini, rdečemu mesu in staranim sirom. Prav tako se poda k pikantnim jedem, raci po pomarančni ali jagnjetini. Postrežemo med 16 °C in 18 °C.

Potencial staranja: 20+ let

Wine Overview

Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a flagship Rhône Valley red wine born from a historic appellation in southeastern France. Crafted by the renowned Maison Guigal, this AOC wine captures the essence of its sun-drenched vineyards and limestone soils.

Tasting Profile

Aroma

A fragrant bouquet of ripe blackberry, wild cherry, Provençal herbs, and a hint of black pepper rises from the glass, accentuated by subtle undercurrents of lavender and garrigue.

Palate

Full-bodied and velvety, this Chateauneuf-du-Pape delivers concentrated flavors of plum, blackcurrant, and dark chocolate, framed by fine-grained tannins and a warm, lingering finish.

Vineyard & Terroir

Nestled along the southern Rhône River, the Guigal estate benefits from a Mediterranean climate, stony soils studded with galets roulés, and cool evening breezes. These conditions create ideal ripening cycles and lend the wine its distinctive minerality and freshness.

Winemaking & Aging

The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, and gently destemmed before undergoing traditional vinification in stainless steel and concrete vats. After fermentation, the wine is matured for 18–24 months in French oak barrels to refine its structure and integrate tannins.

Food Pairing & Serving Recommendations

This full-bodied red pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef bourguignon, game dishes, and mature cheeses such as Comté or Roquefort. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) and decant for 30–45 minutes to reveal its layered aromas.

Cellaring Potential

With proper cellaring, Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape can age gracefully for 10–15 years, evolving into a more nuanced wine with tertiary notes of leather, truffle, and dried fruit.
