Maison Guigal

“Over and above the cultural and patrimonial aspects, all the attention which goes into each stage of the winemaking process is focussed on bringing intense, sometimes unexpected, pleasure. A great wine should be enjoyed and shared in good company and if it arouses passion and emotion then this wine from the Maison GUIGAL will have achieved its true meaning”

Hommage

“Philippe, think of your grandfather who poured all his passion into the 67 vintages he made.”

“As a child, you used to love following him when he went down into the cellar every day with his pipette and glass in your hand. He would wander around the barrels and bottles looking at them with such fondness; objects untainted by life’s troubles, by sadness, boredom and even by time itself.

He loved to share the emotions and pleasure of wine tasting with as many people as possible. Your amazing grandfather smiled as he surveyed all of these bottles and you used to think, ‘how he loves his cellar!’ But no, my son, it was us whom he loved, because this dear man knew that he himself would never drink these rare wines which were made to mature over a long period of time” — Marcel Guigal

A family history

The Family as a Fundamental Value, Commitments to a Renowned Land to Which It Owes Its Prestigious Wines — This, in a Few Words, Is the Guigal Estate. Since its inception, the motto “No Good Without Effort” embodies the daily promise made to Etienne Guigal: to strive and work together in his footsteps, to bear witness to and transmit the passion of this family, and to create so many emotions. Marcel and then Philippe, both accompanied by their wives, are today the guardians of this exceptional estate, which brings together history, dedication, and sharing. A breath of inspiration for generations to come.
