E. Guigal - Côte-Rôtie Brune & Blonde de Guigal 2021 (750ml) Cabernet SavignonE. Guigal Cte Rtie Brune et Blonde is a wine that embodies the legacy of Marcel Guigal, who single handedly elevated this historically significant wine region to global prominence. The Northern Rhne, the birthplace of wine civilization, is home to vineyards first planted by Romans 2,500 years ago, producing wines with an unmatched depth and complexity. Guigals relentless dedication to quality and detail has transformed Cte Rtie into one of the worlds

Ramato (Italian for “auburn” or “copper”) wines are produced by macerating Pinot Grigio grape must with its skins

the Latours have entirely renovated the winemaking facilities

The grapes come from Ravines two estate vineyards on Seneca Lake

which is very much in the style of the vintage

An enterprising British merchant

It brings structure and ripeness into a form that is almost ethereal

grilled fish and white meats in sauces

and rich chocolate

Velvety and elegant

sappy fruit on the palate followed by a hint of minerals and spice in the finish

the 2020 vintage Saint-Roman Rouge is made with hand-harvested grapes from vines over 35 years old

with impressive substance on the finish
