In these vineyards that are over 2400 years old, you can still see the small terraced walls characteristic of the Roman period. Etienne Guigal arrived in this region in 1923 at the age of 14. He made wine for over 67 vintages and, at the beginning of his career, participated in the development of the Vidal-Fleury establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellars of the Guigal estate in Ampuis, the northern appellations of the Rhône Valley are produced and aged. These are the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The great appellations of the Southern Rhône, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and Côtes-du-Rhône, are also aged in the Ampuis cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68058213450092,"sku":"790559501003","price":15.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/guigal-cdr-rouge-2021-750ml-578262.jpg?v=1733858969","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/guigal-cotes-du-rhone-rouge-2023-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
