E. Guigal Côte Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2020

Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie 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.

A polished, modern style, with a rush of black fruit, bitter cherry and incense layered with smoldering tobacco and cigar box. Succulent acidity races through, bringing balance to the svelte, smoky finish. Syrah and Viognier. Drink now through 2034. 20,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.

The 2020 Cote-R8tie Brune et Blonde de Guigal is showing well. Ripe black fruits race out of the glass, mingling with pencil shavings, cured meat and licorice. Medium-bodied and concentrated, the 2020 concludes with intensity on the savory finale.
