E. Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rose 2024
E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rosé originates from France, within the Southern Rhône region and the Côtes du Rhône appellation. The estate was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, a village with a winemaking history spanning over 2,400 years. Today, the domain is managed by Marcel and Philippe Guigal, who uphold a philosophy of rigorous selection and traditional winemaking to produce wines that exemplify the high standards of the Rhône Valley.
Wine Description
This rosé presents a clear, brilliant pink colour and a medium body. The sensory profile is highly expressive, featuring an aromatic nose of redcurrants, raspberries, and wild strawberries, accented by subtle floral notes and hints of citrus. On the palate, it is fresh and well balanced, delivering a fruity intensity supported by a crisp acidity and a fine mineral backbone. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a persistent impression of ripe red berries and stone fruits.
Varietal Composition: Typically a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is crafted using the 'saignée' (bleeding) method and short skin contact to ensure a delicate balance between fruitiness, structure, and elegance.
ABV: Approximately 14%.
Organic Status: While the Guigal family practices sustainable viticulture and meticulous vineyard management, this specific wine is not typically certified organic.
Food Pairing
The vibrant acidity and fruit forward nature of this rosé make it a versatile partner for a variety of summer and Mediterranean dishes.
Meats: It pairs excellently with grilled poultry, such as lemon herb chicken, and cold meats like charcuterie or ham.
Seafood: Suggested pairings include grilled fish, Provencal style bouillabaisse, and lightly spiced shrimp.
