Guigal La La Dinner 2024
One of the highlight tastings during my two weeks spent working in the
northern Rhône was with Philippe and Marcel Guigal, who in this critic's
opinion, consistently fashion some of the greatest wines in the world.

This reference point estate was
created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal and has been one of the world's greatest wine
estates for over seven decades now. Today, it's Etienne's son, Marcel Guigal,
and his son Philippe, who continue to keep Domaine Guigal at the leading edge of
the appellation. As I've written in the past, one of my highlights tasting each
year is with this team, which now also includes Jacques Desvernois, who was
previously at Paul Jaboulet Aîné. JEB DUNNUCK
The new releases from Guigal, especially the La La Vineyard bottlings, are
always highly anticipated with this year's 2020 La La’s finally arriving
and looking to be absolutely supberb. As always we have Brett here tonight to
guide us through this marvel of the wine world and one of the most famous and
well respected producers in the world bar none.
From his fabulous
Condrieu to the pinnacle of the Cote Rotie appelations Guigal continue to be the
leading light of the Rhone and THE benchmark producer when it comes to
syrah.
We hope you enjoy the night.
