The 2006 Ermitage Rouge Ex Voto from E Guigal is a 100% Syrah produced only in exceptional vintages, from a blend of prime parcels on the Hermitage hill. The grapes are sourced from four specific sites. Les Bessards, Les Greffieux, L`Ermite and Les Murets. The wine shows a deep dark ruby colour with mauve tints. The intense, powerful bouquet offers notes of black fruit, leather, liquorice, coffee and oriental spices. It is a full-bodied, highly concentrated wine, distinguished by a rich, powerful palate, significant tannic structure and a long, concentrated finish. This wine is known for its remarkable structure, power, and age-worthiness, having been aged for an extended period of 42 months in 100% new oak barrels.
93 Vinous
Bright violet color. An exotic, highly perfumed bouquet displays dark berries, cola, black olive and intense florality. Chewy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors show excellent depth and intensity, with sweet violet pastille and fruitcake qualities on the back end. A floral note echoes on the juicy, powerful finish. For a big wine this shows surprisingly lithe character and precision. This wine is made from four prime Hermitage sites: 40% each from Bessards and Greffieux and 10% each from Ermite and Murets.Josh Raynolds1st January 2011

Benchmark for Côte-Rôtie excellence

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.
