“After 30 months of luxurious aging in new oak barrels, this noble Saint-Joseph presents a dark, dense color, with a nose that opens with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, toast, and spices. This profile is enriched by notes of licorice, smoke, and tar on the palate, which is full-bodied, rich, and firmly structured by firm yet beautifully fine-grained tannins, with the added bonus of a lovely mineral finish that reflects the terroir.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024). • Orders of 6 bottles of this wine are shipped in a wooden case.

Rated estate (2023 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

Marcel and Philippe Guigal jointly lead the successful family business, which since 2017 has expanded significantly in the south, to Châteauneuf-du-Pape (77 hectares of owned vineyards), supplemented in the spring of 2022 by the 100 hectares of Château d’Aquéria. And, as always, the estate boasts a rich portfolio of vineyards in Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and Hermitage. Wine enthusiasts can savor some of the valley’s greatest vintages, not to mention the brilliant Côtes-du-Rhône—in all three colors—and Tavel, Philippe’s favorite wine.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

After 30 months of luxurious aging in new oak barrels, this noble Saint-Joseph presents a dark, dense color, with a nose that opens with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, toast, and spices. This profile is enriched by notes of licorice, smoke, and tar on the palate, which is full-bodied, rich, and firmly structured by firm yet beautifully fine-grained tannins, with the added bonus of a lovely mineral finish that reflects the terroir.

About the estate:

In addition to its “treasures” in côte-rôtie, Hermitage, and Condrieu, the Guigal estate owns two beautiful plots in Saint-Joseph: the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard, which gave its name to the appellation, and the Vignes de l’Hospice, planted on a very steep granite hillside—a site already identified by the monks of the Hospice de Tournon—with a geological formation similar to that of the famous Bessards hill in Hermitage.

5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)

About the estate:

An iconic figure of the northern Rhône, Marcel Guigal is both a major wine merchant and a prominent winegrower. In the latter capacity, he cultivates famous vineyards in Côte Rôtie, such as La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne, not to mention La Doriane in Condrieu. A tireless worker with an insatiable intellectual curiosity, he succeeded his father, Etienne. Philippe Guigal, an oenologist representing the third generation, continues the family legacy alongside his father, maintaining this dual focus on estate winemaking and wine trading. Winemaking for the northern appellations takes place entirely in Ampuis.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 94-96/100 (Extraordinary wine)

Rated ***** (Exceptional)

About the wine:

While in some years the quality of the Saint-Joseph wine can come close to this level, the 2020 Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice represents a clear improvement, as it offers much greater depth and concentration. It is full-bodied, rich, and velvety, with lingering notes of crushed stone, pencil shavings, cherry, and blueberry.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The most iconic winery in the northern Rhône Valley needs no introduction. Under this umbrella, we bring together the wines from our own vineyards, which we thus distinguish from our wine merchant operations. This includes the famous trio from the “ Côte-Rôtie ”: La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne; the first two are brand names, while the last is a registered terroir. Added to these are the Château d’Ampuis cuvée and the Condrieu La Doriane. In addition to these star wines, there is the Vignes de l’Hospice cuvée—a Saint-Joseph situated on a magnificent terroir—as well as several premier plots in Hermitage from which the Ex-Voto cuvée is produced. Marcel Guigal is strongly supported by his son Philippe, who seems to be gently shifting the style of the wines, with aging practices that strike us as slightly less dominant. Needless to say, all these wines are built for long-term aging.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 95/100

About the wine:

A striking nose of candied orange, blackberry, and smoke. A superb balance between richness, refined tannins with well-defined edges, and a sharp minerality. A very long, complex finish with a mysterious smoky quality. Sourced from a single three-hectare vineyard that faces the Hermitage hill from the opposite bank of the Rhône. Aged for 30 months in small barrels made entirely of 100% new oak. Ready to drink or suitable for aging.
