The Story

Blend: 93-95% Syrah and 5-7% Viognier.

The Guigal family have spent 15 years restoring Château Ampuis, a historic property whose oldest sections date to the 11th century.  The Chateau d'Ampuis has been the symbol of the town of Ampuis and the world-renowned Côte-Rôtie vineyard area for ten centuries, and today represents the family and astounding wines of Guigal.  When the Guigal family learned that there was at one time a wine produced wit...

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red and deep. On the nose it is wide and complex. The taste is perfumed, fresh,voluptuous, fruity, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, with silky tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has balsamic, mineral, meaty, vanilla, bacon,  earthy, cassis, smoky and blueberry flavours. The finish is long and lingering. This wine is impressive. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 30min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
