Guigal’s Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 combines the appellation’s generous southern Rhône character with the precision and elegance for which Guigal is renowned. Deep, concentrated and beautifully composed, it offers ripe red and black fruit, spice and silky tannins, while reflecting the estate’s commitment to expressive, terroir-driven wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a deep, dark and dense ruby-red colour. Its intense bouquet is layered with aromas of red and black berries, warm spices and subtle savoury nuances, creating an inviting sense of depth.\n\nOn the palate, it is powerful yet refined, with a smooth, almost silky tannin structure and a poised balance between richness and freshness. The finish is persistent and elegant. With its concentration and structure, the 2021 should develop beautifully over the next 8–12 years, while remaining enjoyable after a short period of decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône, the wine benefits from the region’s warm Mediterranean climate and stony, well-drained soils. Guigal works with low yields and a strong respect for the natural character of the vineyards. Fermentation takes place in conical wooden vats over approximately four weeks, followed by 18 months of maturation, with around 30% of the wine aged in wood, including barrels and larger foudres. The grape varieties are not specified in the supplied product information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural match for roast lamb, beef fillet, venison and other richly flavoured red meats, it also pairs well with Provençal dishes, slow-cooked stews, grilled vegetables and mature hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C. Decant for 30–60 minutes when drinking young to allow the wine’s fruit and spice character to open; older bottles should be decanted carefully, if at all, to remove any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1946 by Étienne Guigal in Ampuis, at the heart of Côte Rôtie, E. Guigal has grown into one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected estates. His son Marcel joined the company in 1961, and the third generation, Philippe, is involved in the winemaking today. Guigal is particularly celebrated for pioneering single-vineyard Côte Rôtie wines, including La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque, and its portfolio also includes Château d’Ampuis, Condrieu La Doriane and Hermitage Ex Voto. Across its estates, the house combines low yields, careful vineyard work and restrained cellar intervention to express the character of each site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E.
