Guigal's Châteauneuf-du-Pape delivers the full drama of the Southern Rhône without pretension. Built on the region's iconic galets roulés and sun-baked soils, the 2020 opens with ripe black cherry, blackberry and cassis, layered with garrigue, spice and a whisper of smoke. Full-bodied yet refined, it balances silky tannins with bright acidity, unfolding across the palate with power and grace. This is a wine that rewards attention but doesn't demand it, pour it, let it breathe, and discover why Guigal has been a benchmark for generations. A bottle that brings warmth, character, and genuine pleasure to the table.

Charming and enveloping, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Guigal is a true classic of the vintage, marrying power with elegance. It wafts from the glass with aromas of dark cherries, mulberries, iris and spring flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, round and fleshy, it’s built around a sweet core of fruit framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, graceful and gently ethereal finish. This is a beautifully balanced wine that will age gracefully over the next decade and beyond. 92+Pts, Drink 2025-2035 - Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate
