Two Fine Wines From Guigal


I couldn´t make it to the annual Guigal tasting at Wineaffair, but they were ever so kind to let me pick up small bottles of the wines tasted. 

2021 Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge, Guigal
A cool, lightly meaty nose with notes of undergrowth, blueberries, violets and road dust. Open and very fine.
The taste is young and tight with notes of cranberries, bacon fat, iron and violets. A very long, fresh finish. Will be released on the 6th of December.
92p   (tasted 2024/11)

2020 Côte-Rôtie Château d´Ampuis, Guigal
A high, intense nose with notes of violets, blackberries, chrushed rocks, red beets and expensive leather. Very fine.
The taste is compleax and layered with a creamy blueberry fruit, polished tannins and a long, refined finish. Lovely.
95p   (tasted 2024/11)
