2025 Guigal - Cotes du Rhone BLANC (750ml)
From the most famous name in the Rhône. The Guigal family has been crafting benchmark wines in Ampuis since 1946, and their Côtes du Rhône Blanc is a standout for one simple reason: Viognier. While most white Côtes du Rhône lean on Grenache Blanc, Guigal builds this one around the great grape of Condrieu, rounded out with Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc and a splash of Grenache Blanc.
Fermented cool and raised in stainless steel to keep it fresh and pure, it opens with white flowers, acacia, apricot and white peach, then delivers a rich, fruity palate with real body and a clean, crisp finish. A total crowd-pleaser and a terrific value. Pair with roast chicken, shellfish, grilled fish or a spicy Thai curry.
