Guigal, founded in 1946, is renowned for its meticulous vineyard practices and has played a pivotal role in elevating Rhône wines on the global stage.

The Vignes de L`Hospice is a special cuvée made from 100% Syrah, sourced from a single vineyard situated on a steep slope, overlooking the Rhône River. The vineyard’s unique terroir, with its granite soils and steep inclines, imparts a distinctive character to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a meticulous vinification process, including extended maceration and aging in new French oak barrels for approximately 30 months. This meticulous process results in a wine that balances power and elegance, reflecting the unique terroir of its origin.

90 Vinous
The 2021 Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice is much leaner and more laid-back compared to the surrounding two vintages. Ripe red fruits, cedar, blackberry subtleties and delicate sour cherry are some of the signatures. Allow this medium-bodied 2021 two more years in bottle, and enjoy it while waiting for the 2020 and 2022 to come around.Nicolas Greinacher28th March 2024

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.
