The Estate

E. Guigal is one of the most renowned wine producers in the Rhône Valley, France. Founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal, the estate is now run by his son Marcel and grandson Philippe. Based in Ampuis, the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, Guigal has expanded its influence throughout the Rhône Valley over the decades. The estate is known for producing a wide range of wines, from entry-level Côtes du Rhône to some of the most sought-after and expensive wines in the world, including their famous "La La" wines from Côte-Rôtie: La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque.
