Guigal Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge 2018
90/100 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
We can't get enough of this classic French red. This delicious Guigal Côtes-du-Rhône is the perfect choice for any table. Think roast chicken with a mushroom/onion gravy, grilled rib-eyes with potatoes Dauphinoise, or potato-crusted rib lamb chops and roasted, balsamic brussels sprouts. Stock up winelovers!!
Jeb Dunnuck: "I’m always amazed at the quality this estate gets in the Côtes du Rhône, especially at the quantities produced. Their 2018 Côtes Du Rhône is well worth seeking out and has a medium-bodied, round, silky style as well as textbook peppery herbs, violets, bouquet garni, and both red and black fruits. It shows the supple, charming, forward style of the vintage and is ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years. Maturity: 2022-2027." Feb 2022
Winery: "Eye: Deep and dark red. Shiny. Nose: Fresh fruits with red berries and spices. Palate: Full, round and racy. Rounded and smooth tannins. A full-bodied, rich and intensely aromatic wine. Overall: Full with a long finish and plenty of elegance and finesse due to the well-balanced tannins and fruit. Pair with cold meats, meat, game birds and cheeses."
