La Reynarde E. Guigal Côte Rotie, 2022

La Reynarde Côte-Rôtie from E. Guigal is a refined northern Rhône red that captures the elegance and power of this celebrated appellation. Sourced from one of the region’s most distinctive hillside vineyards, it offers a classic expression of Syrah with depth, structure, and unmistakable terroir character. Côte-Rôtie has long been one of France’s most historic and coveted wine regions, and Guigal remains one of its most respected names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby hue with violet reflections, hinting at both concentration and freshness. The nose is expected to be layered and expressive, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, pepper, smoked meat, and subtle spice, often supported by hints of olive, licorice, and toasted oak. On the palate, it should be structured yet graceful, combining dark fruit richness with savory complexity, firm tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Côte-Rôtie wines such as this can develop beautifully over time, gaining more nuance and finesse with cellaring.

Production
La Reynarde comes from the steep granite and schist slopes of Côte-Rôtie, where the vines benefit from excellent drainage, strong sun exposure, and the cooling influence of the Rhône valley. The challenging hillside terroir encourages low yields and intense concentration. While exact cellar details for this cuvée are not provided, E. Guigal is known for meticulous vineyard selection and precise vinification that emphasizes purity, structure, and aging potential.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, venison, duck breast, beef tenderloin, and dishes featuring black olives, herbs, or mushrooms. It also works well with aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if opened young to help the aromas unfold.

Producer
E. Guigal is one of the most influential producers in the Rhône Valley, founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, the heart of Côte-Rôtie. The estate has built a reputation for precision, consistency, and an exceptional range of wines from the northern and southern Rhône. Over the decades, Guigal has helped elevate the global reputation of Côte-Rôtie and remains a benchmark producer for the region.
