That gives the wine plenty of blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, with pepper, violets, dried herbs, tobacco and a savoury edge underneath. The palate is generous and rounded, with enough tannin to give it shape without becoming hard work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuigal is one of the benchmark names of the Rhône Valley, and this gives you a proper taste of the house style at a very approachable level.

Guigal was founded in Ampuis in the Northern Rhône in 1946 and has grown into one of the most respected family owned producers in the region. The estate is best known for its famous Côte Rôtie wines, but the same focus on consistency and quality runs right through the range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Côtes du Rhône Rouge is one of Guigal’s signature wines and is deliberately built around Syrah, giving it more dark fruit, pepper and structure than many Grenache led examples. The 2023 is aged partly in large oak foudres, which helps soften the wine without burying the fruit under oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is polished, reliable and very easy to recommend.
