E. Guigal 2015 Cote-Rotie Brune et Blonde

Dark ruby red. Exotic Spices, red berries and delicate oak aromas on the nose. On the palate round and supple tannins, and raspberry and blackberry flavors. A harmony of integrated acidity and tannins, both of which add aging potential, but even at an early stage are softened by long aging in oak.

Blend: Syrah;Viognier

Alcohol percentage: 13.5

Tasting Notes

Guigal is synonymous with the Cte-Rtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifiying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area. The incredible Syrah from this area, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.
