E. Guigal Saint-Joseph is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker E. Guigal. The wine comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards that overlook the Rhône River. The vineyards are planted with Syrah grapes, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including aging in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, rich and complex red with notes of black fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted, elegant wine with a sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Saint-Joseph from E. Guigal is an excellent expression of the Syrah varietal.The nose offers beguiling aromas of red currants, dried herbs, and violets. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with a core of sweet red fruit and a dusting of soft tannins. A hint of white pepper provides a pleasant lift on the long, lingering finish. An outstanding effort from one of the region's best producers.
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.

E Guigal's Rhône wines are a reliable highlight for those chasing a concentrated and full-bodied experience. The wine's deep ruby tinge is accompanied by a textured bouquet of fruit and spice, with undertones of black cherry and blackberry blended by cedar, cacao, and earthy notes. The sensation is noted for by fine tannins and a long, delightful finish, leaving behind a lingering sense of fruit and spice. in contrast not uniquely flashy, E Guigal's wines are a solid, dependable option for those searching for a Rhône wine that will stand the test of time.

Bold and intricate wine with a deep, opaque color. The character is defined by a rich, rich fruitiness, with notes of oriental spices and a soft tobacco note. The flavor is well-balanced, with a solid backbone that supports a elegant integration of spicy and marinated meat, such as Korean Bulgogi.
