St Joseph Vignes de L`Hospice Guigal 2012

HED77934 75cl 13.5%
Illustrious producer, Maison Guigal, produce this wonderful old-vine Syrah from a monopole vineyard in Saint-Joseph. The 2012 is sumptuous and full-bodied, with delicious flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, raspberry, dark chocolate and peppery spice. Though powerful and rich on the palate, the tannins are round and supple, finishing with superb elegance and freshness. This would be an excellent pairing to any red meats, game or mature cheeses.

E. Guigal

Founded in the village of Ampuis by Etienne Guigal in 1946, Domaine Guigal is one of the most revered and unwaveringly consistent estates in the Rhône Valley, and is often seen as a benchmark for Côte-Rôtie Syrah. A pioneer of the single-vineyard concept in this appellation Guigal is best known for its top three wines, known affectionately as the ‘La-Las’, which is short for La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque – the domaine’s top Syrah vineyards .

Other notable vineyards of this 75-hectare estate include La Doriane (the source of Guigal’s Condrieu), Ex-Voto (used for Hermitage) and Vignes de l’Hospice (the source of one of Guigal’s top St-Joseph Syrahs). All of these have become benchmark wines of their respective appellations. The Crozes-Hermitage appellation completes the roster of Northern Rhône estate vineyards.

Since 2006, Guigal has made a substantial investment in appellations of the Southern Rhône, using top-quality purchased fruit from trusted growers in Châteaneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and the Côtes du Rhône.
