A legendary family business in the Northern Rhône Valley, Maison Guigal offers a wide range of wines, all driven by a common vector: emotion in the service of transmission.

Created in 1946, Domaine Guigal is the fruit of a family passion for grapes and their precious nectar. Currently at the head of the estate with his wife Eve, Philippe Guigal watches over this heritage with care and dedication. Carefully nurturing vines in the finest terroirs of the Rhône Valley – Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Hermitage and even Châteauneuf-Du-Pape in the southern part of the estate at Château de Nalys – Philippe Guigal encourages the expression of each of these atypical terroirs, so that the wines produced are a true reflection of their birthplace. Balance is the spearhead of the House, and practices in the vineyard and cellar are highly respectful, resulting in wines of aromatic intensity.
