The last decade has brought vastly increased interest to Gigondas, as the quality potential has been increasingly recognized. The Guigals have been deeply involved in Gigondas for well over 50 years, and it brings them great pleasure to see the increasing interest and appreciation of the appellation. We consider Guigal’s Gigondas the "quiet storm" among their village wines. While they have been widely known for theirChteauneuf-du Papealso produced in the SouthernRh¥ne, and they are increasingly important in Crozes-Hermitage in the North, the Gigondas is the wine that when poured jumps up and down and demands attention. It’s a wine of sheer pleasure, full of ripe fruit, and with a depth and even slightly brooding sense that comes from the important Mourv®dre component. Yet is has refinement, complexity, length, and has a terrific ability to age.

The more you learn about the Guigal family, the more astounding becomes their story. Their wines are the benchmarks for every Rh¥ne appellation, and over the last thirty years they have become arguably the most lauded producer in the world. Year after year the Guigal family produces wines of exceptional quality that in all classes offer exceptional value.
