| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nCrozes-Hermitage can be considered the gateway to the red and white wines of the Northern Rh\u00f4ne Valley. The reds, which are the majority of production, have wonderful warm flavors of red and black fruit, and typical Syrah pepper, spice and savory notes. Attractive violets and blue fruit define the nose, as well as pepper and light spicy notes. The palate has a rich and smooth delivery of ripe red plums and cherries. Smooth, supple and balanced\r\nFOOD Pairing - A versatile wine in terms of food pairings as it goes well with cured meats, lamb, beef, veal and rabbit.\r\nAbout E. Guigal Domain\r\nThe Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the ancient village of Ampuis, home of the wines of the C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie. In these vineyards that are over 2400 years old, you can still see the small terraced walls characteristic of the Roman period. Etienne Guigal arrived in this region in 1923 at the age of 14. He made wine for over 67 vintages and, at the beginning of his career, participated in the development of the Vidal-Fleury establishment.\r\nDespite his young age, Marcel Guigal took over from his father in 1961 when the latter was victim to a brutal illness rendering him blind. Marcel's hard work and perseverance enabled the Guigals to buy out Vidal-Fleury in 1984, although the establishment retains its own identity and commercial autonomy. In 2000, the Guigals purchased the Jean-Louis Grippat estate in Saint-Joseph and Hermitage, as well as the Domaine de Vallouit in C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage.\r\nIn the cellars of the Guigal estate in Ampuis, the northern appellations of the Rh\u00f4ne Valley are produced and aged. These are the appellations of C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The great appellations of the Southern Rh\u00f4ne, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne, are also aged in the Ampuis cellars. |
