Cotes du Rhone Rosé

Wine information: The Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the village of Ampuis. His son, Marcel, took over from his father in 1961. The Guigal family owns vineyards in Condrieu and in the Côte-Rôtie with illustrious plots in many famous appellations. The wines are made and aged at 12th century Chateau d’Ampuis located in the northern Rhone. In the summer of 2003, in an effort to improve quality and control over all aspects of wine making, Guigal opened an onsite cooperage. The cooperage at the Château d’Ampuis works in partnership with the cooperage at Chagny managed by Seguin Moreau.50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Syrah. A wine drawn off the skins after a brief maceration and long temperature controlled fermentation. Clear, brilliant and fresh appearance with a fresh nose of red fruits and citrus. Notes of raspberry and redcurrant. Fruity and round on the palate, a well-balanced and elegant wine - drink now or over the next three years. Try with starters, grilled fish, white meat and poultry.
