Guigal, in addition to owning vineyards in some prestigious parcels of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, and Saint-Joseph, also cultivates vineyards in Chateauneuf du Pape. In this area of the lower Rhône, it produces one of the French wines richest in history and tradition. The vines have an average age of over 50 years and are cultivated on the famous plateaus of “galets roulés” of alluvial origin. Soils made up of a stretch of pebbles smoothed by the ancient course of the Rhône, which insist on a substrate of red clays and sands. A unique terroir in the world and of extraordinary scenic beauty. The fermentations take place separately for each individual grape variety, and after the creation of the blend, it matures for 36 months in large oak barrels.
