The last bottle of my 2020 vintage. So reliable and delicious. Notes of honeysuckle. Unctuous flavours of ripe mandarin and tropical fruits. A regular purchase every year, as is the Rouge. Best value on the planet.

Oct 26th, 2023No formal notes - this is the last of 6 bottles. Notes of mandarin and honeysuckle - luscious - the perfect Winter white. See previous Delectable notes. A regular purchase for me. More than 50% Viognier together with Roussanne and other Rhone white grapes. Amazing consistency considering Guigal makes over 700,000 bottles per year.

A blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache & 10% Mourvèdre with pleasing aromas of berries and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with smoke and savory spice. Long finish, spicy tannins ending with earthy herbs. Great value, tasting well, consistent quality.

Aromatic. Honey and stone fruit. Acidity keeping up. Nothing too oily about this, full bodied but with freshness.

Oct 27th, 2020Aromatic notes of pear and some citrus. An unctuous fruit driven palate - low acid, medium plus intensity. An absolute mouthful of flavour for under $25 - great QPR. Based heavily on Viognier apparently with some Roussanne and a tiny amount of Grenache Blanc. Jeb Dunnuck said like a “mini Condrieu “. I should have bought a dozen not half a dozen. Had another bottle 15 weeks later on 25th January 2021 with similar notes. Barbara and I loved it. Luscious with Apricot and Cumquat notes finishing with cleaning acid. Need to buy more!

Smells like grandma. Add lemon, seltzer, and ice and it becomes enjoyable.

Don't drink much white from cotes du Rhone, I like this standard white from Guigal.
