E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2020

Côtes du Rhône

February 17, 2026 - E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge is a standout in its class, made with the same rigor and care as the estate’s top wines. Unusually Syrah-based, it offers greater depth, structure, and aromatic intensity than most wines in the category. It is aged for two years in a mix of stainless steel and large oak foudres, with deliberate blending throughout the process to ensure balance and complexity. This is not just a regional ambassador—it is a wine that reflects Guigal’s commitment to excellence at every level. It is a benchmark bottle and an extraordinary value.

Dog Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Marlborough

February 17, 2026 - Several influential voices in the wine industry believe that in time Chardonnay may prove New Zealand's single highest achievement. All three of the Dog Point wines fermented in barrel are small in production, but the Chardonnay is the smallest, and and times indeed the most dazzling.

Bolgheri

E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc 2023

Hermitage

January 29, 2026 - E. Guigal Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc represents the realization of a longtime dream for Marcel Guigal: owning vineyard land on the famed Hermitage hill. In 2000, Guigal acquired four exceptional parcels through the purchase of the de Vallouit and JL Grippat domaines. The Ex-Voto Blanc is sourced from two parcels, Les Murets (90%) and L’Hermite (10%), a blend of mostly Marsanne with a touch of Roussanne. This wine is made only in exceptional years, showcasing the intense character of old-vine fruit and surpassing even the appellation’s standard bottlings.
