E Guigal St Joseph Vignes de L`Hospice 2008 is a full-bodied single-vineyard red wine produced from Syrah grapes in the St Joseph appellation of the northern Rhône Valley. Founded 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 quality Côte-Rôtie. "The 2008 Saint Joseph Vignes des Hospice is a great effort in the vintage, and is better than a number of more expensive cuvees. Giving up plenty of herbs, peppered steak, smoked earth, graphite and crunchy blackberry-styled fruit, it’s medium-bodied, layered, and beautifully textured, with good ripeness and plenty of tannin. Drink it anytime over the coming decade." Jeb Dunnuck, 2014

Vivid ruby. A high-pitched bouquet evokes red and dark berries, cracked pepper and fresh flowers. Juicy and precise, with good cut to its black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors. Shows good energy on the finish, which features suave violet and spicecake notes. This wine is drinking very well right now.Josh Raynolds1st March 2012

The 2008 Saint Joseph Vignes des Hospice is a great effort in the vintage, and is better than a number of more expensive cuvees. Giving up plenty of herbs, peppered steak, smoked earth, graphite and crunchy blackberry-styled fruit, it’s medium-bodied, layered, and beautifully textured, with good ripeness and plenty of tannin. Drink it anytime over the coming decade. One of the reference point estates for top quality wines in the world today, the family run Guigal operation was created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal. Today, Etienne’s son, Marcel, and his son Philippe, are firmly in control here, and are without a doubt producing some of the most singular, sought after wines in the world. Due to the size of this tasting, I’ll keep my comments short, but the incredible quality coming from this operation is astounding, and a tasting here is always one of the highlights of any trip through the region. Furthermore, while a lot is said about the extended oak aging regime here, I don’t know anyone who tastes mature examples of these wines on a regular basis that still has any doubts about the genius going on here. In short, these single vineyard (and their blends as well) Cote Roties are some of the greatest wines money can buy. For this tasting (which, with the Guigals, is always a large one!), we focused on their Saint Joseph Vignes des Hospice release, and then three of their Cote Roties, starting with the classic Brune et Blonde, then the Chateau d’Ampuis, and finishing with their single vineyard La Mouline. Looking first at their Saint Joseph Vignes des Hospices release, it comes all from the incredibly steep (and picturesque) vineyard perched just above the town of Tournon. The exposure here (which is critical for Saint Joseph as the more southern facing the plot, the warmer the site is) is mostly east facing and the soils are pure granite (identical to the decomposed granite found in the Les Bessards lieu-dit on Hermitage Hills). Compared to the Saint Joseph lieu-dit,

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.
