"This is one incredibly sexed up wine. Pure silk, velvet, lace and leather in texture with an exotic bouquet of scents and stunning levels of concentrated, perfectly ripe and over fruits, words are not sufficient to express how much pleasure this brings to the mind and senses. This is wine at its best! If you have the money and want a bottle that aliens would take to their planet to show the greatness of Guigal and Cote Rotie , this is the real deal."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
