Guigal Cotes Du Rhone Rouge 750ml

Kevin - Wine Specialist, Pasadena

"Three generations of winemaking prowess on land that has been under vine for 24 centuries — but don’t worry about all that, just enjoy this delicious, versatile, and remarkably affordable wine! Guigal Côtes du Rhône — made from bold, peppery Syrah with just enough Grenache for softness and balance — can be enjoyed with a wide range of dishes, from roasted chicken to grilled ribeye.

I poured this wine by the glass for years at New York City’s famous Brasserie Les Halles, and it always showed its agility, whether paired with garlicky moules frites or smoky côte de bœuf. With rich, lush blue fruits and an earthy, herby, licorice-tinged finish, anyone who doesn’t like this wine doesn’t like red wine!!"
