E. Guigal - Saint Joseph

E. Guigal is a renowned winery located in the Rhône Valley of France. Founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal, the winery is now run by his son, Marcel Guigal, who has continued his father's legacy of producing exceptional wines. One of the wines that E. Guigal is known for is their Saint Joseph, made from Syrah grapes grown in the Saint Joseph appellation. The production of this wine is a meticulous process that begins with hand-harvesting the grapes and ends with aging in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a smooth and velvety texture. E. Guigal's Saint Joseph is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for several years and pairs well with a variety of foods. Overall, it is a wine that showcases the terroir of the Rhône Valley and the skill of the winemakers at E. Guigal.
