2018 Guigal - Hermitage Ex Voto Rouge

This small parcel, known as a ‘clos’, formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the appellation’s best parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. This wine could be compared to a Côte de Nuits village in terms of its delicate tannins and length on the palate.

The wines of Domaine Mouton is our latest discovery. We are pretty sure we are the only shop in the USA that carries these wines. A small family run Domaine based in Condrieu, they own some really nice vineyard plots and have a very talented winemaker. Buy these before they are discovered!
