Magnum red Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde Domaine Guigal 2021

Magnum red Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde Domaine Guigal 2021

This magnum of Côte-Rôtie Brune & Blonde 2021, signed by Marcel and Philippe Guigal, is a model of elegance and complexity, a true reference in the great appellations of the northern Rhône. As an emblematic cuvée of the Guigal house, it perfectly embodies the balance between power, finesse, and the expression of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs.

Prestigious Terroirs – Côte Blonde and Côte Brune

From parcels on steep terraces, this wine benefits from remarkable geology: schists and silico-limestone soils in Côte Blonde for finesse and soils rich in iron oxides in Côte Brune for structure. These terroirs give the cuvée its unique style, both refined and harmonious.

Excellence in Grape Varieties & Winemaking

Composed of 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier from vines around 35 years old, this wine is made from manual harvesting followed by careful winemaking: rigorous sorting, punch-downs, fermentation in closed stainless steel tanks for three weeks. All enhanced by 36 months of aging in oak barrels, 50% of which are new oak.

Tasting Notes: Power, Roundness, and Rhône Charm

• Color: dark, bright ruby red.
• Nose: subtle spices, red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry), subtle woody notes.
• Palate: silky tannins, integrated acidity, velvety texture. The finish stretches with notes of vanilla and ripe fruits.

Food and Wine Pairing

This magnum will perfectly accompany roasted game, aged ribeye steak, lamb tagine with dried fruits, or mature Saint-Nectaire cheese.

A Wine for Cellaring and Collecting

Thanks to its long aging potential and natural balance, this cuvée can age for 15 to 20 years, and even longer in magnum, while retaining its freshness and complexity. A sure value from the Guigal Collection.
