Vintage after vintage, the Collection wines have become symbols which perfectly illustrate the family-s ethos of supreme quality. Careful ageing, together with the meticulous attention paid every day by Marcel and Philippe Guigal to the selection and blending processes, bring to the fore the consistency and excellence of the great appellations of the Rhône Valley.
Coming from vines with the average age of 40 yrs, the grapes are grown on the slopes with ancient alluvia, red clay, and gravel soils.- – This wine is made up of 70% Grenache, 20 % Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and after a traditional lengthy maceration, the wine is aged in oak foudres (50% new oak) for 2 years.- The nose is dominated with black fruits and liquorice, with more coming through on the palate resulting in a genourous and powerful mouthful with soft tannins and a long elegant finish.
