Guigal – The King of the Rhône Valley

Few names in French winemaking are as revered as E. Guigal. Founded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal in Ampuis, at the heart of the northern Rhône Valley, the estate quickly established a legendary reputation for crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Rhône with elegance, depth, and exceptional value. Today, Guigal is widely known as the King of the Rhône, producing world-class wines that consistently overdeliver in quality.

Among their most celebrated offerings is the Côtes du Rhône range – red, white, and rosé wines that showcase the Guigal mastery of blending and regional expression.
